can you see the space station from central fla. at night?

Answer 1

No visible passes in the next 10 days.

To monitor in future, see

www.heavens-above.com

Select your location (bottom right of page), or you can register in which case you only enter your location once when you register and next time you go in, it automatically brings up the data for your location.

I looked up for Orlando. There are bound to be visible passes at some time.

heavens above gives you lots of other details as well, and has over 2 million locations worldwide, so it's a bet it will have yours.

Have fun.

Answer 2

Hey man, here is a website form NASA that has a number tools, mostly web applets that you can load and determine when something like a shuttle or space station will be visible from your location:

To be specific however you probably want this niffty little tool which is located on the above page:

Best bet is to use them with Internet Explorer to avoid any issues.

Answer 3

Yes, depending on when it's orbit is aligned. You can use different tools, but here is one that NASA provides.

It's usually best right after sunset or right before sunrise so that you can get the best reflection of sunlight. You won't need a telescope, and you will certainly know it when you see it. It will look like a bright jet streaking across the sky.
