International Space Station

Space Cadets! If you missed Thursday's flyover by the International Space Station, you can get make-up credit tonight. The station's course is the same, flying from high over New Orleans to Baltimore and Nova Scotia. Look southwest at 8:39 p.m. Have the kids watch for a bright "star" climbing quickly toward the zenith. It will pass between Saturn and Mars before reaching its highest altitude at 8:42 p.m. Then see it cruise off toward the Big Dipper, disappearing in the northeast at 8:45 p.m.

S pace Cadets! The International Space Station is back in our evening skies tonight, flying high over Baltimore (and almost directly over Ocean City) on its way up the East Coast. If skies are clear, look for a bright, fast-moving "star" rising out of the southwest horizon at 6:14 p.m . It will climb above brilliant Jupiter – brightest object in the southern sky - by 6:17 p.m., just before vanishing into Earth's shadow.
