Why wouldn't we hope for clear skies; the past week has been extremely habit-forming! Aside from the pleasure sunshine and comfortable temperatures can bring, we have another reason for wanting clear skies-the International Space Station is coming to northwest skies! The Space Station will be visible over the northwestern United States until after June 12th. I've included a listing of where and when to look (and for how long) in the table below: The direction given is where it will appear above the horizon. The station's orbit will carry it more or less overhead, so it's elevation will increase, then decrease as it passes more or less to the east. The astronauts who will be flying above us this month include ISS Chief Science Officer Jeff Williams from the U.S., and Commander Pavel Vinogradov from Russia. Date Time Duration Direction Elevation on Approach Tuesday 6/5 10:29PM 5 mins SW 10 degrees Wednesday 6/6 12:04AM 5 mins. W 11 degrees Thursday 6/7 12:25AM 5 mins WNW 10 degrees Friday 6/8 12:46AM 5 mins WNW 10 degrees Saturday 6/9 10:17PM 5 mins W 10 degrees Sunday 6/10 10:40PM 3 mins NNW 32 degrees Monday 6/11 12:13AM 3 mins WNW 10 degrees Tuesday 6/12 12:33AM 2 mins WNW 10 degrees |
