See the International Space Station TONIGHT!

Tonight will be a terrific night to get to see the International Space Station, in orbit around the earth, with your naked eye!  The NASA website has information about when the ISS can be seen, depending on your location.  In the Hartford area, the ISS will be visible for six minutes at 6:58pm, and for under one minute at 8:36pm.  Be sure to rely on a cellphone to have the accurate time so that you dont miss it!  I’m told that it looks like a big star, but you might think it’s an airplane because it’s moving.  (Blinking lights mean you’re looking at an airplane.  Solid light means that you probably have the ISS in your sights!)  For more information about how and when to see it, visit the NASA website!  Pretty neat, huh?  I hope you can spot it this evening!
