Here inside the national forest where we have a two-mile buffer zone from city lights, we see plenty of stars. We can see some other objects, too…one of our recent guests told us how to find out when the International Space Station goes by. NASA has a nifty link off its ISS website where you can plug in your latitude/longitude or zip code and it will tell you the next time the Space Station passes over your house.

Looks like we’ll be having some clear, cool evenings over the next several days. Brigette, being the space loving gal she is, will be watching tomorrow night at 8:45pm to see if she can catch the Space Station zooming past…
