It's back again for a few weeks, folks!

1727GMT tomorrow night!

I noticed this I check out live streaming and noticed it over the UK

Might pop my head outside

Also, Geminid meteor shower is in progress - best was last night but still some action to come. The bright moon will spoil things somewhat, but look towards Orion and left a bit if the sky does get to clear...

I have a great app that reminds me when the ISS is visible the is nothing more amazing than looking up into the night sky and seeing the wonders it holds! (Cloud permitting that is!)

@tickatape what's the name of the app?

@tickatape what's the name of the app?

It's called ISS Spotter

Thank you! I was wondering about the ISS when we spotted Venus last week. Shame we have heavy rain...

Too much cloud

I forgot to say but the app points you in the correct direction to look too! clever little app!

Good app except that it doesn't tell you how good the viewing will be this link still appears to be the best for that http://www.n2yo.com/passes/?s=25544

I also enjoy another app called GoISSWatch, very pretty

Thanks, guys, great stuff.

Annie, I have that page on one tab and the main page

http://www.n2yo.com/?s=25544

on another. When the ISS is approaching, I just flick back and forth - gets quite exciting, especially with the grandchildren around, which is going to happen over the Christmas period!

Can't wait!

Oh dear, how offputting, http://www.n2yo.com/passes/?s=25544 predicts 90 mins BEFORE ISS Spotter (all this week)

It is a 90 minute orbit. Is it predicting the previous pass?

Ahh, so that's it then, the app is predicting the next pass, bit of a nuisance that, since I can set it to remind me!

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, I've just seen it! Had lovely clear skies, and a full 3 minute pass at a good elevation!
