2. International Space Station
The International Space Station (ISS) is visible again in Irish skies from Thursday, October 20th until early November. The ISS appears as an extremely bright star-like object in evening skies and is the brightest object in the sky apart from the Moon. This man-made object, larger than Croke Park, is an awe inspiring sight and we urge all of you to go outside and watch as it passes over.
To receive a message to your mobile each day with the time the ISS will be visible simply text SPACE to 57003 (reply STOP to unsubscribe). Each text costs 1euro, and only one message will be sent per day. Proceeds help to promote interest in astronomy across Ireland.
Remember to email your observations of the ISS to iss@astronomy.ie and we will do our best to include your report in a forthcoming issue of 'Astronomy & Space' magazine.
