Did you know you can view the International Space Station from your home with the naked eye? I found this bit of information on the back of one of the Usborne Books on outer space that we have out of the library right now. We're going to try and get a glimpse of it tonight. Here's the link.

You just put in your home town and it tells you where to look, at what time to look and you can print out a star chart that will help you tell the path it is taking. I'm all excited about this, can you tell? This is something we probably never would have known if we hadn't decided to start on homeschooling and do a unit on space.
