21 Answers
When observing the Space Staion when it is pitch black,we see a bright silver object hurtling through the sky.
However,during the cominfg few days there are three possible sightings at 9.51 pm,9 31pm and again at 9.57pm.
As the sun will just be setting,will we get a better view of the structure of the Space Station as it will (hopefully) be highlighted by the suns dying rays.
Anyone know?

Considering it is larger than a football field.I am sorry I am not so techinal to answer your question. But I do understand what you mean and will take special notice of times. We do not have much more sightings this way for a few weeks.Check Nasa tv on Friday14th next week and you will see Atlantis take off live for the spacestation.
Hi Mr V and Wendilla - last night I caught a brief glance of the space station but saw a similarly bright but almost stationary `thing' in the West and when I googled it turned out to be Venus. How lovely is that? I'd never realised you could see planets so clearly.
Thanks Wendilla for bringing the space station to our attention.

Hi there carrot99,
Yes Venus is (I believe) the brightest planet one can see with the naked eye,I think because of it's position in relevance to Earth.
According to wendilla's excellent listing the next viewing of the Space Station is tonight at 9.51 pm(might be difficult if it's still sunny?) and then again at 11.27 pm.

Well thanks to Wendzilla I saw the Space Station once this week, but unfortunately we have had a lot of cloud since then. Talking of lights in the sky, we often see a very bright object in the sky, and wondered if it was some sort of stationary Space Station - but could it be Venus ? It shines very brightly and doesn't seem to move, just like a very bright star in fact.
