LIFT OFF!

Can you spot the International Space Station?

Follow the link to this website for dates and times of sightings.  You can't see it everyday and it passes at different times.

The space station usually rises in the west and is a bright light moving across the sky to the east.  It is easy to spot if it's a clear night.  You may need to be a little patient, but keep watching and you'll see it!
