Houston area, Intl Space Station pass tonight at 655pm

Tonight, the ISS should be the third brightest thing in the sky after the moon (nearly overhead) and Venus (in the south west). For me here on the southeast side of Houston, the pass will run from the NW to the ESE. The maximum elevation will be about 60* from the horizon. It should start at 1855 and end at 1900.

If you miss it, it'll be just as bright Friday between 1815 and 1821, but pass almost directly overhead at 79* elevation and NW --> SE.

It'll also be passing Tomorrow and Sat, but it'll be lower in the sky. I did get to see it twice last night as well.

If you want to get the stats for passes for your location.....

You'll want to put in your location to get accurate numbers. You can also get predictions for other things besides ISS.
