International Space Station Visible Tonight in Lubbock
October 29, 2014 The ISS pass will begin about 7:21pm, and will last for about 6 minutes. Look just above the northwest horizon to find a bright object that will look like a very bright star or a planet moving up quickly. The station will pass across fairly close to overhead then move toward the southeast horizon. You do not need to drive out of town, as you should be able to spot the station even under the bright city lights. Just take the family out in the yard or a park, anywhere the sky can be seen well.
