The International Space Station: some great passes coming up!

Here we go, Space Fans! These are the scheduled transits of the ISS for the next few days. Bearing in mind that negative magnitudes are the brightest, you can see that some of these passes are very bright indeed: only Venus (mag -4.8) is currently brighter! Also, they occur conveniently soon after sunset, so no need to stay up late. The ISS generally appears in the west, moves in an arc across the southern sky and sets (or goes into eclipse) in the east.
