We watched it tonight. Pretty darn cool. I thought it would look like a star, but you can actually see it's shape a little. I zoomed in with my camera and got a great view. And the thing is booking it. Went all the way across the sky in just a few minutes. Looked it up, and it's traveling at 17,500 mph and orbits the planet every 90 minutes.
If you are interested (it's great for the kids), you can go here to see when it's available next. You can see it a lot of nights, but you want a night where it will be at least 40 degrees above the horizon.

International Space Station
See the International Space Station! As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up.
