Are you interested in seeing the International Space Station as it flies overhead?
I have been lucky enough to see it twice recently.

Just last week I was camping at a beach on the west coast of Ireland and happened, by chance, to see the space station pass overhead. I was really amazed at how fast it was as it moved steadily over my tent.

For a moment I thought that it might be a aeroplane however I realised that it was moving far too fast and was also too bright to be an aeroplane.

Anyhow, now that I am wandering through twitter-land I found a great site that will tell my twitter account when the space station is flying over.

I have yet to find out how accurate it is however I will let you all know how it turns out…
