Space Station over Baltimore tonight
FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Space Cadets! Clear skies tonight should give us a great view of the International Space Station as it cruises directly over Baltimore just before dinner. Look for a bright, star-like object rising above the northwest horizon at 5:45 p.m. EST as the ISS passes over Lake Michigan.
Zipping along at 17,500 mph, it will pass over Baltimore at 5:48, close to the bright star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. From there, it races southeast over Ocean City and out to sea, disappearing at 5:51 p.m.

Excellent view in NoVA Frank, thanks for the heads-up. That was my second viewing today of a astronomical event. Earlier today at dawn I saw a meteor (perhaps a early Leonid) break up overhead. Quite a sight!
FR: Thin broken clouds over the WeatherDeck in Cockeysville tonight. I picked the ISS up just as it was directly overhead, winking in and out of the clouds. Could have been better, but I was glad to catch a glimpse. Anyone else get a look?

it was too cloudy in Upperco, MD, but we did manage to see a few glimpses.

I missed it as well due to the clouds. Thanks for the heads up though.
