If you're out watching the twilight sky in the time frame from 45 to 90 minutes before sunrise, or 45 to 90 minutes after sunset, you'll might see a few "moving stars." They are most likely artificial satellites. The brightest of all is the International Space Station, and this month provides some great opportunities to see it from just about anywhere. Circling the Earth at an average altitude of 240 miles and at a speed of 18,000 mph, it can appear to move as fast as a high-flying jet airliner, sometimes taking upwards to four or five minutes to cross the sky. During the next couple of weeks, North Americans and Europeans will have many opportunities to see the ISS flying over their homes, due chiefly to a seasonal circumstance. Right now, the nights are still rather short and the time that a satellite in a low Earth orbit (like the ISS) remains illuminated by the sun can extend through much of the night, a situation that can never be attained during other times of the year. Because the ISS circles the Earth about every 90 minutes on average, this means that it's possible to see it not just once, but for several consecutive passes. Moreover, because the ISS revolves around the Earth in an orbit that is inclined 51.6 degrees to the equator, there are two types of passes that are visible. In the first case (we'll call it a "Type I" pass), the ISS initially appears over toward the southwestern part of the sky and then sweeps over toward ...
As long as this relatively clear, dry weather holds up, Marylanders should make plans to catch a good, long look at the International Space Station Friday evening as the giant Tinker Toy flies up the east Coast. This will be an unusually bright pass by the Station, at Magnitude minus-2.4. The sun angles are nearly ideal, and the reflected light will make the Station nearly as bright as the planet Jupiter , which has been brilliant the last few nights in the southern sky. So grab the kids, bang on the neighbors' door and get everybody out to watch for the Station. Those are your tax dollars at play up there, after all. Look for the ISS to rise above the southwestern horizon at 9:48 p.m. Put the kids and their young eyeballs on the case. I'm betting they spot it first, although this flyby will be so bright I can't imagine anyone missing it. It's likely to shine right through any summer haze or thin clouds. Anyway, the Station and its crew of three will climb about halfway up the southeastern sky by 9:51 p.m., passing directly above Jupiter, which is quite low in the southeast. From there, it will slide off toward the northeast as the Station passes off the Delmarva coast and heads on up the Atlantic Seaboard (What is a 'seaboard,' anyway?) toward Nova Scotia. Watch as it passes through the Summer Triangle, the right triangle formed by the bright stars Vega, Deneb and Altair, which hangs in the eastern sky on summer evenings. After you' ...
