International Space Station - Spot The Station

You can sign up for alerts from NASA for the location of the ISS with Mark Hadfield at 
http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/index.cfm

Did you know you can see the International Space Station from your house? As the third brightest object in the sky, after the sun and moon, the space station is easy to see if you know where and when to look for it.
NASA’s Spot the Station service sends you an email or text message a few hours before the space station passes over your house. The space station looks like a fast-moving plane in the sky, though one with people living and working aboard it more than 200 miles above the ground. It is best viewed on clear nights. For more information on the International Space Station and its mission, visit the space station mission pages.

You can get a world tour in real time from the ISS station at the website: http://iss.astroviewer.net/index2.php
