Thats a good site mate. I'll add that to favourites.

I am sorry, I didn't explain it very well.

Under the 'sightings' space on the left you can figure out when the shuttle/ISS are passing over your house. It's a blast and I have been following the last 4-5 flights.

One of the best views is toward the end of the mission. The Shuttle and ISS undock/split up. You can watch them track across the sky, chasing each other in orbit.

I had a good look mate, and clicked on my location etc etc.
I think there is only about 5 sitings I can do in the next few weeks, and they only last a couple of minutes.

The wonder of it will keep you going out to watch, I caught the flyby this morning....I woke up at 1:30 and could not go back to sleep...

During other flights the has been as many as 7-10 passes, If the orbit is right? You may see a two passes in about one hour!

I remember having one pointed out to me a while ago, but it never lasted long. Maybe being in the northern hemisphere, you are closer to space than we are

Check it out.....

Do you have a globe in your house?

Our hemisphere is closer to UP. Up is closer to the stars.

We win.
