ISS sightings possible this week on 10/26 & 10/28


Above I have a Satellite view of the Cobb Adult Education Center which shows the paths that the International Space Station will be following on Tues 10/26 and Thurs 10/28. If the weather is clear enough to see the sky, the Space Station only be 12 and 25 degrees off from flying straight over(90deg) the school. It should be visible for approximately 3 minutes on both days. The map shows the direction from which the Space Station will approach and depart. This is a good learning opportunity to explore angles and compass readings. I plan on taking my second period students outside to watch it at 7:52 if it is a clear night.
