International space station

Missed it last night and I usually work nights. I took an unscheduled day off for the first time in two months. I'm in lake Charles

Didn't see it last night, but do see it several times a year. Last I saw was September 29th while driving to Austin

Pics or it did not happen

I've always thought it was very cool to see it travel across the sky from horizon to opposite horizon in just a few minutes. It's amazing to me. The best was when a space shuttle orbiter was about to dock, or had just disengaged. You could see a pair of "stars" traveling in formation at 17,600mph. Good stuff!

I'm also amazed by people who see it and are completely unimpressed. I can understand how we were able to develop the technology to put the ISS up there, expand it, maintain it, re-supply it, and keep it orbiting for 30 years or so. What I can't understand are the dimbulbs who see it traveling across the night sky and day, "Meh..." That's a complete mystery to me.

Right! Depending on where you are, relative to its orbit, it's pass may only be visible for just 2 or 3 minutes. If it's practically directly overhead, it still only takes 5 or 6 minutes to cross the sky.

It never ceases to amaze me. I watch it every chance I get.

If you enter you location at Heavens-above you can see many more satellites and parts of rockets that have been launched into space and reflect the sun as they fly through the morning and evening skies. They also have information about what each object is.
I'd imagine in a town like Lake Charles you get a pretty clear view of the night sky and can see some of the dimmer satellites.

ISS Spotter is a great app for tracking the space station.
