> CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Central Florida will have a good opportunity to 
> see the International Space Station pass overhead in the predawn 
> hours on Sunday, Dec. 6, and again on Tuesday, Dec. 8, weather 
> permitting. 
> 
> The station, with its Expedition 22 crew aboard commanded by NASA 
> astronaut Jeff Williams, is about 225 miles up. Traveling at 
> five-miles every second, the space station will look like a very 
> bright star, which doesn't twinkle or blink, moving quickly across 
> the sky like an aircraft.
> 
> Watching from Orlando on Dec. 6 at 6:33 a.m. EST, the station will 
> approach from the southwest and disappear over the horizon in the 
> northeast. It will be visible for about five minutes. 
> 
> Then again on Dec. 8 at 5:46 a.m., the station will move from the 
> west, southwest toward the northeast and be visible for three 
> minutes.
