About 5 years ago after a drunken night out my house mate and myself where having a smoke and a kebab in our back garden when he looked up and pointed out the International Space Station flying over. I told him this was bull**** and laughed at him. The next evening he produced a website that said itll be coming back over at X-O'clock that night, do i want to see or shut up? lol
Since then i have been totally addicted to coinciding my evening smoke cigarette brakes with when it comes over, i love it (Im such a geek), my wife waves at it
When i pointed out she is being daft, i was put in my place "There are 6 people in it right now, maybe they are looking!" :roll:
It will be passing over tonight at between 10:40pm until 10:49pm (and all week) from West to East in the Sky at about 88ยบ (that's like virtually right up) if your near London / south, but it should be visible from all of the UK and central Europe. Go out and have a look (remember to wave lol). [/b]
Anyone else do this or going to have a look?
There are some great free Phone APP's to help track it and get forecasts, i use ISS Spotter.
Alternatively try: http://www.isstracker.com/
Although its traveling around 7.7KM per second Its 370KM up, and lit up by the Sun so its dead easy to find and view (takes nearly 7-10 min to go from horizon to horizon)

I'm fascinated by the fact that we can see a real space ship moving across the sky
