Last Chances To See ISS Thursday, September 24 is the last chance to see the International Space Station (ISS) blaze across the sky for another few months, and it may even pass on front of Jupiter as seen along a line from Ballina to Naas. For times to view the space station there are predictions on the internet, however to receive a reminder to your phone just a couple of hours before it passes, text the word SPACE to 57003. Each text costs ?1 and proceeds help us to promote science and astronomy in Ireland. Remember to email what you see to observe@astronomy.ie each time you see ISS and we will try to include your report in the forthcoming issues of 'Astronomy & Space'. 3.
