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. <\/p>\n
At 10:42 p.m. on Friday, June 9, 2017 the ISS will fly over Asheville and be visible as it crosses overhead, but only for only a minute. (If you're seeing this story ahead of the flyover, a good way to remember to watch the ISS is to set an alarm on your cell phone.)<\/p>\n
If skies are clear in your area, look northwest 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 north-northeast.<\/p>\n
The ISS travels at about 17,150 mph if you can believe that, and you can view how many people are aboard it right here. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
