--Apple-Mail-4--827105550 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii It looks like clear this evening. This is the time of year that it is possible to see several visible = passes of ISS in one 24 hour period because of Earth's tilt putting the = Northern Hemisphere at its maximum angle toward Sun (that's what gives = us the high angle day-time Sun) The Space Station remaiins in full = sunlight over the northern hemisphere for many of its orbits. We who are on the ground are in Earth's shadow for a much shorter period = this time of year, but just enough to have a darkening sky, with the ISS = in still sunlight above us. For example, tonight it is visible to us = for 5 of its 15 orbits , beginning at about 21:48 in SSW, max 21:50 alt = (33 degrees) above SE, ending about 21:53 in ENE. Next orbit pass (about 97 minutes later) : beginning at about 23:25 in = W, max 23:27 alt (44 degrees) above NW, ending about 23:30 in NE. 3 more visible passes are possible before morning, Maxing at 01:04 (25 = deg N), at 02:42 maxing (40 deg NNE), and 04:18:30 max 42 deg SW.
