HIGHLIGHTS by David Tytell

See the International Space Station Tonight!

No, it won't look this good. But you can see the International Space Station with our new Satellite Tracker.
NASA
As Stuart Goldman reported in his Astronomy Online blog, we've recently launched our new Satellite Tracker. It's a JavaScript tool that lets you know whenever the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, or some other interesting spacecraft (like a Space Shuttle) will be visible in the next three days.

So click on the tool, select a nearby major city (or your latitude and longitude), and head outside to see the biggest and brightest satellite in the sky.
