Space Station will pass by tonight

Assuming that the night sky is visible, you will be able to locate the International Space Station above Burlington Twp tonight! You will have to look quick though, it's passing will take only a couple of minutes.

Location details:
  • Go out around 8:35pm (passing will occur from 8:38-8:41)
  • Locate the Big Dipper (it is low in the sky). You may also notice some bright stars (those will be 3 of the planets visible now). The Space Station will be traveling below the basket of the Big Dipper and above the planets.
  • Keep in mind that the Space Station orbits, so it will be moving. If you see something moving between the points I told you, you may have seen the Space Station!
