The ISS (International Space Station) is visible silently gliding over the GTA this week. The best passes at (mostly) convenient times are listed below. (Note: The more negative the Mag. number, the brighter. The larger the Alt. number, the higher up it is!) Some passes are high and bright! (Data adapted from www.Heavens-above.com. If you enter your location in their website, you will get a list of passes for your location.) All the times are in Eastern Time.
