(Posted 8 July 2015) As seen from Hobart, the International Space Station will put on another show tomorrow night (Thursday 9 July 2015) when it passes very close to Venus and Jupiter. Just look for a bright slowly moving star moving as per the below chart.

If you are unfamiliar with the night sky, then use the above chart. Unfortunately for the rest of Australia, this is a close encounter we miss out on due to the angle of the International Space Station’s orbit relative to the Equator.
