Here I am, it’s 2010, and one of my resolutions this year is to finish Vermont’s 23 Things. I vow not to go off on tangents or spend too much time in Facebook, or go click happy on the Internet…however, let me share something I found on one of my excursions: http://www.n2yo.com/ .
Here you can follow orbiting satellites in real time. I am currently keeping track of the International Space Station (ISS ZARYA) as it goes round and round the earth. You can put in your location using latitude and longitude (Google will help you) and this website will plot a prediction table for viewing ISS in the sky when it is visible from your location. I’ve seen it as it travels through the night sky and disappears just as the table said it would. Great fun!
