international space station over UK tonight

ISS over tonight at 22:43 and keep your eyes open for meteors / shooting stars
 
It just went over had a good view just outside of Leicester.
 
Just saw it go over Brum...WOW!!

Was good to see this.
 
Way to cloudy here, but so happy you lot got to see. :icon_thumright:
 
Just for you voorhees, ISS passes at 21:49 and 23:26 West to East :icon_thumright: Good Luck!
 
No chance of seeing anything up here tonight too overcast.
Friday night,myself and my team leader were stood outside the depot looking at the sky as I told him the ISS was due to pass over,cue a couple of the other teams from the other departments pointing at us as if to say "what are that pair of twats looking and pointing at?"
 
Great chance to see the ISS over the UK again tonight at 21:34 Incredibly bright
We have had a few cloudy nights but tonight and tomorrow looks like being mostly cloud free for most of the UK.

Get out there with a camera and take a pic for me please Spooky. :cold: Its too cold or me to go outside, lol. :) x
 
I figured out where it was and I was looking through the trees, then when I seen it, it was a far distance from where I was looking as it literally fly's across the sky haha. how many other stations are out there? is there any others that can be seen to the naked eye?

Last night I seen the ISS, and for the first time I seen the supply ship ATV5. (10 mins behind)

It’s on the same trajectory as the ISS, and maybe seen tonight one minute in front of the ISS




If you on twitter, this is a good guy to follow, he’ll post times and info.
