The International Space Station will fly over Houston tonight


HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) – The International Space Station will be visible for a full six minutes from Houston and all of southeast Texas on Wednesday evening.

The sky should be fairly clear, giving ideal conditions for the ISS to be seen flying at speeds of up to 17,000 miles per hour, about 250 miles above the earth.

The perfect time to see this rarity would be in the evening: 23.:23:23 pm If you look to the northwest you will see a brighter light, brighter than Venus, zipping into the sky. At about 6:26 p.m., the ISS will be directly overhead at its highest point.

The ISS should disappear to the southeast horizon around 6:29 p.m.

If you plan to wait outside for the ISS, you may choose to wear a light jacket. Temperatures will remain in the 60s.
