ISS Over Vancouver

For those folks that don't know the International Space Station makes frequent passes over Vancouver skies. It can be clearly seen and looks like a bright star travelling across the sky.

Over the next two weeks it will make several pases but unfortunately most if not all will be in the small hours. So if you're awake really early or really late. Then take a peek up at the skies and you might just see it. The times below are from the NASA's ISS Tracker site. You can use this site to check nearly every city across the globe. If anyone needs any help or just needs their city finding please feel free to ask.

For Vancouver BC (local times)
Saturday June 3rd 4:25am
It should be visible for about 4 minutes. It will appear from SSW (South South West) at about 10 degrees above the horizon climbing to a maximum elevation of 19 degrees.
It will then head off in a ESE (East South East) direction at about 14 degrees.

Monday June 4th 3:37am
It should be visible for about 3 minutes. It will appear from the South at about 15 degrees above the horizon climbing to a maximum elevation of 19 degrees.
It will then head off in a Easterly direction at about 10 degrees.

More dates will be added shortly.
