And this transit of the shuttle Atlantis and the Intnl. Space Station across the face of the sun by amatuer astronomer/photographer Thierry Legault.

The ISS is visible to the naked eye just before sunrise and just after sunset. Mr. Legault's website calculates orbit times and helps you to locate it.

Re: Journeys to the International Space Station

The photos of the transit of the space station and shuttle by the amateur are terrific.

Here's a website that you can customize to see the space station from your location. Be sure to read the info to set it up.
