[GreenKeys] ISS viewable in 30 minutes

[Doug Alderdice]

We've been watching the ISS passes, and MIR before that, for years, 
though we didn't see last night's pass because it was raining here. 
There are a lot of apps and web sites to help you track it (and other 
space junk flying by).  My go-to for all that time has been the 
heavens-above.com web site and they also have an Android app.

As Jack Horkheimer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Horkheimer) on 
the PBS fill-ins back in the 90s giving various astronomical information 
used to say, "Keep looking up!"
