View the International Space Station Passing By...

With only a few clouds in this evening's forecast, we should get a good view of the International Space Station cruising 221 miles above the Earth and passing across the western sky! The ISS can be viewed at 8:47 pm this evening and will be visible for 4 minutes. The ISS will be similar in appearance to a star second only in brightness to the planet Venus. So be sure to check it out!

And if you capture any pictures of the ISS passing over SWFL, send them to weather@winktv.com!

If you miss out tonight, the International Space Station can be sighted again Sunday night at 9:14 pm and will be visible for 2 minutes.
