ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) <\/p>\n
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
Just after 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 27, 2017 the ISS will fly over Asheville and be visible as it crosses overhead for about six minutes. (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, if you have one)<\/p>\n
If skies are clear in your area, look west-southwest about 9:02 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 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
