Space station flyover visible from Greenville, Asheville tonight – WYFF Greenville

GREENVILLE, S.C.

If you look up at the right time tonight, youll be able to see the International Space Station fly over.

The space station will be visible starting at 9:43 p.m. in Greenville and Asheville and the surrounding areas. Weather permitting, it will be visible in the northwest sky for about three minutes.

It will move across the sky and pass out of sight at 9:47 p.m.

The space station will look like a small, bright star moving across the sky. It is traveling at more than 17,000 mph as it passes by. It only takes 90 minutes for the laboratory to make a complete circuit of Earth. Astronauts working and living on the station experience 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.

The Expedition 52 crew of two NASA astronauts and one cosmonaut from Russia's space corporation, Roscosmos, is in its second week aboard the International Space Station.

The tracker, developed by the European Space Agency, shows where the space station is right now and its path 90 minutes ago and 90 minutes ahead. Because of the Earth's rotation the space station appears to travel from west to east.
