Catch the space station passing over
“You'll be certain it's just a plane, right up until it crosses the whole sky without blinking once.”
The Recipe
- Look up tonight's visible pass of the space station for where you are; a tracking app or site gives the exact minute and which horizon it climbs from.
- Two minutes before, get to the most open patch of sky within reach: a park, a bridge, the middle of a quiet junction.
- Watch the point of light climb, cross and fade, steady and unblinking, and clock the moment it slides into the Earth's shadow and vanishes.
