International Space Station Flyover of the Rosemead Area

There are two very good fly-overs of the International Space Station over the Rosemead area over the next two days. Tonight, a little after 8:11pm, it'll appear low in the northwest and pass silently towards the east-southeast. At -2.2 magnitude, it will be the brightest point of light coming from the sky you'll see (other than the moon, of course).

On April 3, around 7:30pm, it will again appear out of the northwest and head towards the southeast. This one is predicted to be a bit brighter than the last one.

Additional information should be available at this link. Click on the date and it'll produce a star map for you to match to your horizon.

The information is generally accurate for anyone within about fifty miles of Rosemead.
