Discovery landed safely but the ISS will continue to be visible in Irish skies until September 22nd! 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.
