Who knew there’d be a bunch of ISS hipsters on here

I have the app that tracks it and says when there’s a sighting. I’ve probably seen it 10 times. Haven’t checked it in a while though. It’s always a cool sight

I get email alerts whenever it comes over my area. It comes over about once a month I think. If it’s a clear night my son and I will go outside and watch it.

If you have a halfway decent telescope you can actually see it through the eyepiece.



Eta: if you have a ham radio you can actually talk with them directly if they are free.

My wife follows some site that tells her when it’s going to pass by.

If you have Google Fi for cell service you need this after your phone number to sign up for text alerts at the link Martini posted. It has the other major carriers listed in a drop down.

Say it’ll be over Tiger Stadium right at kickoff Saturday night. Hopefully it’s a clear night.

Couple Summers ago, it came out of the SW headed NW. From southern BR I was able to see it until it was almost over Cooperstown NY

I seen it one morning on the way to work!!! It was super super bright, thought it was a UFO until I pulled up my space app and confirmed it was the space station. It’s pretty surreal.

My question is why no photos or video exists of the ISS being built? Very strange

Are we sure this is the ISS you saw or was it just a satellite.

Where are the stars in this photo? Clearly photoshopped and fake.

Of course. It's only a matter of time before everyone realizes we are on a flat earth.

Space Station flew over West Houston around 645 AM this morning. Me and my 5 year old watched it zoom through the sky while walking to school. She loved it. Awesome sight.

Saw it this morning in SE Louisiana at 6:43 for six minutes. Seemed really bright.
Been watching for years. Was awesome when you could see the shuttle and the space station flying close together.
Spot the Station app is what I have.
