SPACE STATION APPEARING NATIONWIDE OVER JULY 4 WEEKEND

As America celebrates its 233rd birthday this holiday weekend, there will be an extra light in the sky along with the fireworks. Across the country, Americans will be treated to spectacular views of the International Space Station as it orbits 220 miles above Earth.

Many locations will have unusually long sighting opportunities of as much as five minutes, weather permitting, as the station flies almost directly overhead.  To find out when to see the station from your city, visit: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings
