International Space Station Flyover (Check Dates in Article)

225 Feet in the Sky, 17,500 MPH, Visible for 7 Minutes

By Missy Robertson, Publisher, Macaroni Kid Monroe - West Monroe February 6, 2022

You can watch the International Space Station fly overhead from several thousand worldwide locations. It is the third brightest object in the sky and easy to spot if you know when to look up.

The space station looks like an airplane or a very bright star moving across the sky, except it doesn't have flashing lights or change direction. It will also be moving considerably faster than a typical airplane (airplanes generally fly at about 600 miles (965 km) per hour; the space station flies at 17,500 miles (28,000 km) per hour).

Don't miss the flyover tonight at 6:20 PM and see the schedule below for the next sighting opportunities.
