Looking at the International Space Station

We were tipped off that it would be possible to see the International Space Station last night so were able to spot it. It was a white dot moving steadily across the southern sky. You can get an app to show you where to look. We used two websites: http://iss.astroviewer.net/ and http://space.channel4.com/tracker/ The latter site was most interesting and we were amazed to find out that when we last caught sight of the ISS it was actually above Italy. Just shows how far you can see if something is high enough up. Off to look for a comet underneath Orion tonight!
