Hi, Folks.
Something different:
The International Space Station (ISS) will be visible tonight (Friday),
passing from south west to north east. It will take 6 minutes to pass,
and will be a bright light clearly visible to all. The pass will begin
at 828 pm and the ISS will be at 73 degrees at the top of the pass,
which means it will be almost straight up, but a little to the south.
There are 2 cosmonauts and one astronaut on board.
I watched it on Wednesday and it was very bright. It is a steady
(non-blinking) light, brighter than any other "star" in the sky.
