NASA SkyWatch Guide
- Shuttle and Space Station Viewing Opportunities
The
International Space Station is now the 3rd brightest object in the
sky. You can use the NASA
SkyWatch application to find out when it or the Space
Shuttle will be visible with the unaided
eye over your location (this is a large applet - approximately 300KB in size -
you can enter your latitude and longitude or select from a list of cities from
around the world - caution: it takes a while to crunch the numbers,
however the applet has a bonus: it will generate a star map with the
position of the Station overlaid upon it)
Better
yet, use the following weblinks for selected US cities - the viewing times are
automatically updated and posted at these weblinks:
To find viewing times for any country,
go to the
NASA
SkyWatch page
and
choose your country from the dropdown list on the left.
