Dulwich Born And Bred Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Does anyone know what direction it will be flying over Dulwich at 5.20pm tonight?

DulwichFox Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 The ISS will be visible at 5.22pm across the UK, but for varying lengths of time and at slightly differing angles.The further north you are, the closer to the horizon it will be.Here is a guide on how long you will be able to see the ISS and where you can spot it in the sky (90 degrees is directly above you):London: 4 minutes, at 45 degrees, 35 above WSWDulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/52671-space-stationsanta-flying-over-dulwich-tonight/#findComment-808641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Martel Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 You can always keep updated on the ISS flying overhead by checking NASA?s Spot the Station website. You can set it up to send you email alerts hours before the station flies overhead. http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/See the view from the station in this spectacular Earth timelapse HD video.
