Don't Forget Tomorrows ISS Pass

The ISS passes near the Moon, as seen from Adelaide on the evening of Friday March 7 at 20:35:59 ACDST (changed from the prediction of 20:35:32 ACDST on Sunday). All sky chart showing local times from Heavens Above for Friday March 7 for Adelaide. Click to Emgbiggen.

Don't forget that tomorrow (Friday March 7) sees a nice bright ISS pass near the Moon from most Australian sites.

Yopu will need to check your times again. in the intervening days the ISS orbit has changed a little bit, so it is about 30 seconds later.

Also have a look for Iridium flares, from Adelaide there is one at 20:33:29, as the ISS is rising (hat tip to Dean Male).
