Just to remind you there will be a 4 minute sighting of Spacestation over the uk tonight at exactly 6 42 pm and again at 8 17pm but that one will only be a one minute sighting. So hopefully it should be clear skies and remember it is very bright and glides accross the sky. It does NOT blink.

Wendilla, thank you so much for posting these reminders, i have seen the ISS a couple of times after reading one of your posts, it really makes my day when i see one of these reminders. :-) if it wasn't for you i would have never seen it.
Sadly it's very cloudy this afternoon in Kent, but I will look if the cloud clears!

Thanks wendilla. I went out in the garden to look the other night with about 30 seconds to go and tripped the IR and the security lights came and I couldn't see anything. Will have another go tonight and switch them off.
I also saw nothing the other night as it was very cloudy, but fear not I will be out again tonight!

yes Benny a lot of people don't know it is visible here at certain times. This was how I found out 4 years ago by someone one putting it on here. If you are interested you can also go to nasa tv and watch the shuttles take off and land live.And at times you can catch a double fly bye.. I have only seen that once and that was a sight worth seeing.next shuttle take off is 5th april
Do you know will it pass over Ireland at all, I can't see any info about it.
Belfast 6.41pm
