Just saw it in BR. Very bright hauling arse across the sky.

Always seems like it's 90deg overhead looking up and then as it passes, i feel stupid. Really bright and clear tonight. Even seemed "lower"

Almost overhead here. Nice.

Me too. Last time I saw it, it was hauling arse. Maybe a 60 second window. This time it was a good 5 minutes.

Best view of it I’ve ever seen. Prime conditions.

ISS flyover times ... LAF is currently used as the location. Just change the parameters for your geographic area of residence

Although it seems very far away to a person standing on Earth’s surface, it is only one 30th of the diameter of Earth above the surface (about 260 miles out).
If you scale it down to the earth being a basketball, the space station would be orbiting at only a third of an inch above the surface of the ball.
