The International Space Station

[FoxesAreBlue]

Take a look at the moon right now, just above it is a very bright light.

Is that the International Space Station?

[StanSP]

Not sure, but the other week, you could see Jupiter as a very bright light (relatively) nearby to the moon.

Thought that was pretty cool.

No Jupiter pal,it was at about 8 o clock to the moon 2 weeks ago.

The ISS moves at is a good sight.Look at Heavens above website,put your home town in and it will show the times of visible passing.Worth it.
