The International Space Station is unusually bright during its night time passes for the next few days, making it possible to easily observe the large orbital outpost several times a night as it crosses overhead in many locations.

Have your zip code available when you visit http://www.spaceweather.com to see if you are in a place with a good chance to see the fast moving space station. The times and place in the night sky to look are available as well..

The station, currently home to six American and Russian astronauts, is orbiting the Earth in constant sunlight until June 28, the reason for its unusual brightness when observed from the ground at night.
