Everyone can see the ISS-- even if you don't own a telescope. NASA News reports that between now and mid-August the space station will make several passes over the United States and Canada. Spotting it is easy, all you need are your eyes, a clear sky and a flyby schedule for your hometown which can be located by visiting one of these three popular web sites: Chris Peat's Heavens Above, Science@NASA's J-Pass [excellent site] or NASA's SkyWatch. By typing in some simple information, like your city or zip code, the sites will respond with a list of suggested spotting times, accurate within a few minutes.
