ISS Blazing Across Irish Skies Many of you saw the "Space Chase" last night as the space shuttle Discovery crossed the sky, closely followed by the International Space Station (ISS) from which it undocked yesterday afternoon. This extraordinary sight was enhanced by the fact that both bodies passed just over Jupiter which was already shining brightly in the evening sky. The ISS is visible in the night sky until Sept 22 and for more details visit www.astronomy.ie/ISS. For times to view the space station there are predictions on the internet, however if you would like 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.
