News...    sponsored by      The International Space Station, flying at an altitude of 390.8 kilometers (242.8 miles), can be seen as a small object in the lower right of this image of the moon in the early evening Wednesday in the skies over the Houston area. The space station can be seen in the night sky with the naked eye, and a pair of field binoculars may reveal some detail of the structural shape of the spacecraft. Station sightings in the area will be possible again (weather permitting) Friday, beginning at 6:11 p.m. CST. Viewing should be possible for approximately six minutes as the station moves from 10 degrees above west-northwest to 10 degrees above south-southeast. The maximum elevation will be 44 degrees.
