On Saturday evening 29th April 2017 the International Space Station will make a great pass over Brisbane and Southeast QLD** To see it: – Be outside by 5:48pm and looking towards the crescent Moon low in the Northwest sky. – At 5:51pm look for a “star” passing to the left of the Moon – that will be the ISS – At 5:52pm the ISS will be brightening and passthrough the constellation Orion – At 5:53pm the ISS will be very bright and almost overhead in the Southwest (brighter than Jupiter which can be seen in the East). – At 5:54pm the Station will pass below the Southern Cross and then “The Pointers” – At 5:57pm the ISS will disappear into Earth’s shadow very low in the Southeast, where the 5 astronauts on board will experience one of 16 sunsets they see every day. Use some binoculars for extra wow. submitted
