It looks like clear this evening.

This is the time of year that it is possible to see several visible =
passes of ISS in one 24 hour period because of Earth's tilt putting the =
Northern Hemisphere at its maximum angle toward Sun (that's what gives =
us the high angle day-time Sun)  The Space Station remaiins in full =
sunlight over the northern hemisphere for many of its orbits.

We who are on the ground are in Earth's shadow for a much shorter period =
this time of year, but just enough to have a darkening sky, with the ISS =
in still sunlight above us.  For example, tonight it is visible to us =
for 5 of its 15 orbits , beginning at about 21:48 in SSW, max  21:50 alt =
(33 degrees) above SE, ending about 21:53 in ENE.

Next orbit pass (about 97 minutes later) :  beginning at about 23:25 in =
W, max 23:27 alt (44 degrees) above NW, ending about 23:30 in NE.

3 more visible  passes are possible before morning, Maxing at 01:04 (25 =
deg N),  at 02:42 maxing  (40 deg NNE), and 04:18:30 max 42 deg SW.
