What's Up? The Space Place

Hey Space Placers! NASA has added a new feature to its very popular "Spot the Station" website.   The new interactive map makes it easier than ever to pinpoint your location and get alerts from NASA as to when the International Space Station will be visible to you. It is truly amazing to watch 1 million pounds of space hardware inhabited by humans soar silently overhead. Sign up today... Sky Guy in VA

Hey Space Placers! Last night at Skyland Resort in Shenandoah National Park, myself and 40+ attendees for my "Let's Talk About Space At Shenandoah National Park"   watched the International Space Station (ISS) pass silently but brightly overhead. Many had never seen ISS before and they were thrilled to finally have done so. We waved as Scott Kelly and crew travelled 17,500 miles per hour for 6 1/2 minutes in our sky.
