International Space Station

International Space Station is now flying over the North Olympic Peninsula (and how you can see it)

THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, now carrying the six crew members of Expedition 44, makes nightly appearances in the North Olympic Peninsula sky through much of this month.

There are two flyovers tonight (9:49 p.m. and 11:23 p.m.), one on Saturday (10:32 p.m.) and three more on Sunday (12:06 a.m., 9:39 p.m. and 11:13 p.m.).

The ISS is easy to see with the naked eye — it is the third-brightest object in the sky and looks like a fast-moving plane — but it’s dozens of times higher than any airplane and travels thousands of miles an hour faster.
