Last night I was treated to an awesome sight as the International Space Station traveled through the southern sky at 9:32 pm and then the northern sky at 11:06 pm. Without the aid of binoculars or a telescope I could see a dazzling light sailing through the sky.

Sorry you missed it? It will appear again throughout the next couple of weeks.

On July 8 in Cincinnati, the space station will be viewable in the southern sky at 9:55 pm and the northern sky at 11:34 pm. It will be available other dates and times throughout the month.
