As I mentioned in my class today - there is a good opportunity to see
the ISS tonight. It might be a little late to see it too far east
however.
It will rise just a little north of west - at 7:15 PM.
If you are looking due North, it will travel left to right across
the sky. It will be almost due north at 7:19 PM and will be about
30 degrees up from the horizon (90 degrees is straight up). It
will be just below the north star and then something very cool
will happen...
it will disappear!!
This will happen because it will go into the earth's shadow and
no longer be illuminated by the sun which is over Australia.
Hope the sky is clear!!
