Now is prime time for viewing the International Space Station pass overhead in the Southern Hemisphere.
Thanks to a combination of the International Space Station’s orbital inclination and our long Summer twilight periods, we can now see the International Space Station pass overhead multiple times in one night. The exact number depends on your location. Go here on this website for customised viewing predictions for your location.
Keep in mind that the International Space Station looks like a bright slowly moving star to the unaided eye. If you haven’t seen it before, have a look. It is very easy to see (assuming there are no clouds).
Thanks to Kevin Fetter to alerting me to this annual event.
