Another opportunity to see the International Space Station

From tomorrow (Friday) night, the International Space Station will be visible in the skies over Ireland and Britain every evening until October 27th. At 8:11pm tomorrow, the ISS will blaze across Irish skies from west to east. The ISS will be the brightest object in the sky as it passes over Ireland, outshining even the brightest star in the sky by a factor of 10 to 100 times. On board the most expensive object ever built are 6 astronauts, 5 men and 1 woman. “ISS is an amazing sight when it appears in evening skies. Even those out walking their dog have called us the next day to ask what that bright light was in the sky?” said David Moore, Chairman of Astronomy Ireland, who has been predicting when manned spaceships are visible in Irish skies since the 1980’s.
