Most folks don't realize it but every few days (actually nights) you can walk right out your front door, look up and watch the International Space Station (ISS) fly overhead. Now that the Space Shuttle is servicing the ISS you can actually watch them flying formation [a spectacular sight] during docking and undocking maneuvers.Watch the video above for instructions on how to find viewing times for your location and how to make sense of what you are seeing. Or you can go directly to NASA's HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT website to find viewing dates/times and to their SIGHTINGS HELP website for a very technical explanation of how to read the charts.
If you want the quick and easy explanation, just watch my video, follow the instructions, then go outside and be amazed!
