Cumbrian Sky

Want to know when you can see the space station in the sky? It's easy! Just go to the Heavensabove webpage I've set up for Kendal (it will work for anyone in the UK too) here and you'll see a table of times...

The table is very easy to use. On the left you'll see the time you should start looking for the apace station - face the west at that time, maybe a few minutes before, and you'll see the ISS rising up from behind the horizon, looking like a star. The second time, in the middle, tells you when the ISS will be at its highest and brightest in the sky. The third time is the time you'll lose sight of the ISS. Simple! And to make it even simpler, if you click on the date shown in blue a chart comes up showing you the ISS's track across the sky!

Let me know if you see anything - good luck ISS hunting!
