Saw the International Space Station last night for the first time. It
rose in the north western sky right on schedule at 6:54 PM. It was the brightest thing in the sky at that time and very easy to spot. I tracked it with 12x stabilized binoculars hoping that I could see some detail but not quite. You could tell that it was quite large however and moving incredibly fast against the backdrop of distant stars. The whole passage from horizon to horizon took only 4 minutes and passed almost directly overhead.
