The International Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth, and it's visible when it flies over Asheville, if you know where and when to look.

Just before 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 the ISS will fly over Asheville and be visible as it crosses overhead for just over four minutes.

If skies are clear in your area, look northwest at about 7:15 p.m., and wait for the ISS to become visible over the horizon. It will look like a bright, fast-moving star, and will travel overhead and move out of sight into the eastern horizon.

The ISS travels at about 17,150 mph hour, if you can believe that, and you can view how many people are aboard it right here.

You can track where the ISS is here. There's even a livecam on the ISS, and you can see what the international astronauts are seeing here.
