What I saw in the sky tonight

[Barb]

Nope, not a UFO, but the ISS, the International Space Station!  It went right over our neighborhood, many miles up.  It looked like a moving very bright star, no flashing lights like a plane would have.  Our local news told us when and where to look.  After a week of clouds, rain and wind, the sky cleared up a few hours ago and I got a clear view of it.  Very exciting!

Very cool.

In binoculars it would look square.
A friend of mine has an app that tells you when it goes overhead.

A cleared sky treat for you Barb. I love seeing things in the night sky.

Bill you wouldn't know what that app is by any chance would you?

Not sure, but maybe:

ISS Track
or
SkyView Satellite Guide

Before Space Shuttle launches were stopped, he had us watching both the space shuttle and space station as they were getting close to dock.
