ISS Set To Make A HIGH ALTITUDE Crossing Over Our Sky TONIGHT!
The International Space Station (ISS) will be making a HIGH ALTITUDE pass over our sky this evening.
At a blazing speed of 17,000 mph, it will cross our sky in about 6 minutes total time.
You will be able to view it rise over the SW horizon at approximately 8:34 PM EDT this (Tuesday) evening. The ISS will appear as a very bright point of light as it moves across the sky before exiting the NE horizon at approximately 8:40 AM EDT.
Unlike many ISS crossings, this one will take it very high in the sky, almost directly overhead in fact, rising to about 83° altitude at around at around 8:37 PM.
