There will be a series of International Space Station flyovers across the U.S. this Fourth of July weekend.

From here in Birmingham, one will be visible tonight starting at 8:31 p.m.

Look north/northwest. It will take nearly three minutes for it to transit the sky, reaching a maximum elevation angle of nearly 50 degrees. It should be very bright.
