The International Space Station will be visible to us a few times as it flies over our area this week. Monday morning brings the first opportunity to see it, but Thursday morning looks like the best chance.
At 6:22 Monday morning, the ISS will appear low in the northwestern sky. Over the next seven minutes it will fly over our area climbing halfway up the sky before disappearing along the eastern horizon. The sky will be partly to mostly cloudy by morning so everyone is not guaranteed a view this time.
Thursday morning, as the clouds break apart more, the ISS will fly over again. This one will happen just after 5:30 AM and be visible for four minutes. Look halfway up the northwestern sky Thursday morning, and check here for more information about that flyover. Clouds are difficult to predict with accuracy this far out, but there are signals this will be the better chance to see the space station fly over with fewer clouds in the way.
