This might push the limits of geekdom here, but I think that it is pretty cool

Now I understand. There is no time given.  Hmmm?

OK, here are step-by-step instructions:Go here and put in your city to get your longitude and lattitude <a href="http://www.heavens-above.com/SelectTown.aspx?lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=UCT">http://www.heavens-above.com/SelectTown.aspx?lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=UCT</a> Select the correct city (if there is more than one Tucson, for example), then click Submit at the bottom of the mapIf you live in a rural area, go to this map and click where you are. the longitude and lattitude will be below the map <a href="http://www.heavens-above.com/LocationFromGoogleMaps.aspx?lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=UCT">http://www.heavens-above.com/LocationFromGoogleMaps.aspx?lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=UCT</a> then click Submit at the bottom of the map Once you have that, look under the Satellites heading for ISS (International Space Station). Click the blue ISS - this will give you a list of all of the potential viewing times over the next 10 days.For daremeto (using   45.706°N 121.520°W and Pacific Time Zone) this list appears:  <a href="http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=45.70618&lng=-121.4978&loc=Unspecified&alt=110&tz=PST">http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=45.70618&lng=-121.4978&loc=Unspecified&alt=110&tz=PST</a>For Mben, you get this:<a href="http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=32.22167&lng=-110.9258&loc=Tucson&alt=751&tz=Arizona">http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=32.22167&lng=-110.9258&loc=Tucson&alt=751&tz=Arizona</a>

BTW, you won't see the lights on the ISS - you will see the sunlight reflecting off of it. It will look like a fast airplane, but without any flashing lights

Thanks for the instructions, PSP. To be honest, I got lost right here (look under the Satellites heading for ISS (International Space Station). Click the blue ISS - this will give you a list of all of the potential viewing times ... I could not find a Satellites heading ) so I am glad you gave me the link to my actual schedule. So now I got my schedule and will try to catch it on one of those nights.

 

[PSP]

Step 1 - open the webpage <a href="http://www.heavens-above.com/">http://www.heavens-above.com/</a> and click on the link to the map

  Step 2  - Click on the map where you want to view from and then click Submit

  Step 3 - Click on the blue ISS listed in the satellite section

Step 4 - You will see the list of times that the International Space Station will be visible over the next 10 days

  If you really want to get wild and crazy, instead of clicking on the blue ISS in Step 3, you can click on one of the other satellites listed - like the Chinese spacecraft Shenzhou 10 that just launched earlier today (or yesterday) If you need any more help than this, please feel free to send me a first class airline ticket and a few thousand dollars and I'll be happy to show you personally!

Thanks for the detailed instructions, PSP. I was able to follow them this time. I'm sure I chose select map after it brought up the 2 Tucsons in the list but never got the map. If I had, I probably would have gotten the time table. I may have been in a rush and just didn't let the page load completely.-- Edited by Mben on Thursday 13th of June 2013 05:04:48 PM
