International Space Station visible from Chicago
The International Space Station rises in the southwest then passes overhead Wednesday
night between 9:40 and 9:47 pm
Thanks to e-mailer BobK who alerts us to Wednesday night’s pass of the International
Space Station between 9:40 and 9:47 pm. Here’s additional information Bob has been
kind enough to forward to us:
Weather permitting, the best viewing of the International Space Station flying
overhead in quite a while will be this Wed May 21 at 9:40pm. The space station will fly
directly overhead between 9:40pm and 9:47pm, making it a very long and bright event.
(Of course, it will still be just a very bright moving “star” in the sky).
Here is a map of its path (Note: This is designed to be printed out and held overhead, so
that the compass directions are correct) It will rise in the south-west around 9:40pm,
pass overhead at approximately 9:44pm, and finally set in the north-east around 9:47
p.m.
