International Space Station visible from Houston this weekend

Did you feel like you were being watched today? You were. 

The crew aboard the International Space Station passed right over Houston this afternoon. Here's a  short video showing what the astronauts saw as they looked down from 220 miles above the Earth.

Coming up this weekend, we'll be able to see the ISS from Houston. Here are the best times* to look up:

Saturday, May 9 -- You'll need to get up early to see this.

• 5:37 AM  North/Northwest
• 5:40 AM  Northeast
• 5:43 AM  East/Southeast

Sunday, May 10 -- Sunrise is at 6:35 AM so the ISS will be appear faint in the early dawn sky.

• 6:03 AM  West/Northwest
• 6:06 AM  Southwest
• 6:09 AM  South/Southeast

Sunday, May 10 -- The best view of the week, weather permitting.

• 8:51 PM  Southwest
• 8:54 PM  Southeast
• 8:57 PM  Northeast

*There are other sighting opportunities this week, but the view will be limited because the ISS will be passing low to the horizon.
