International Space station

Message from Colin Case.

The ISS will be visible this evening for 4 minutes - one of the longest times from our area - it orbits far to the South.
Depends on the cloud cover of course. It will be very bright and quite fast-moving - the fastest light in the sky by far, and one of the brightest.
It will appear from the South West and track to the South (travelling to the left above the Wrekin from here) finally disappearing in the South East.
Here is the notification from NASA - (HQ-spotthestation@mail.nasa.gov)

Time: Wed Feb 12 6:33 PM, Visible: 4 min, Max Height: 41 degrees, Appears: SW, Disappears: ESE
