International Space Station/Shuttle Sighting Opportunity In SC

In the Columbia area for Sunday, June 08:

Time: 9:32pm
Sighting Duration: 3 minutes
Maximum Elevation: 41 degrees
Approach: 24 degrees above the NNW horizon
Departing: 18 degress above the ESE horizon

(This information should be very close for all of central South Carolina)

This should be an excellent sighting opportunity given that the orbiter Discovery is attached and the new Kibo module has been added. The sighting opportunity where I live is a bit longer. If you get the chance go outside and watch it fly over. Look for a bright light moving rapidly across the sky. The ISS travels at 17,500 mph and is roughly 225 miles above Earth.

Wherever in the world you happen to be you can get ISS sighting information at the NASA Human Spaceflight web site.
