Tonight take advantage of the clear sky by going outside and looking up. If you see some “bright stars”… then take a closer look. What you may be viewing is the International Space Station. The Space Station should be leading the shuttle Atlantis and will be over the state of Alabama from Wednesday, June 20 to Monday, July 2. The shuttle is moving at approximately 18,000 mph so if your lucky enough to spot the shuttle it may only be visible for 1 to 4 minutes. Keep in mind the station and shuttle are the two largest space vehicles in the sky. The link below shows an estimate of the time and direction of possible sightings in various areas of Alabama. Good Luck!
