Not sure I would know it if I saw it. How can you be sure it is the International Space Station and not some other satellite ?

That's my guess too, but, it would be nice to be definitely sure.

Hi

If you go to this site Heavens Above you can get the times and path.

There is a good pass tonight starting at 19;54.

To be honest, it wasn't a guess. I just thought about it for 2 seconds

It went over again tonight, not quite a long as last night but still good.

It will be going over tomorrow at 19:05:38 from WSW until 19:11:13 to the E


cyfrifia, not guesses, from the data at Heavens Above. ;-)

Not such a good night to see the ISS, but it kept dodging in and out of the cloud, maybe better tomorrow from 19:53:13 W to 19:57:05 SE
