International Space Station Sightings

Posted in community, Fun, Life, Personal, travel tagged , , at 8:54 pm by pdxfirefly

The following are the times that Portlanders can view the ISS.

The second column is the number of minutes the ISS will be visable; the third column is the maximum elevation;  the fourth column is where you should look as it comes into view; the last column is where it will exit your view.

In other words, the first sighting will begin at 9:26pm;  last 3 minutes; will be no higher than 53 degrees; will ‘pop’ into view at 33 degrees in the NW sky; will exit your view at 26 degrees E.  It might be helpful to remember that 90 degrees would be straight up.

Have fun!!!
