I was disappointed that Spaceweather.com was not listing any ISS flybys for the next week, thinking that I had missed viewing it this time around. But on a whim, I decided to check out NASA's page with sighting schedules. What do you know? According to NASA, the ISS will be visible nearly everyday for the next two weeks.
I should mention, however, that most of the flybys will be very low, with maximum elevations in the teens or twenties. On the night of May 3rd, the ISS is scheduled to reach a maximum elevation of 67 degrees, though. That's pretty good. Also, on the next night, May4th, the sighting duration is scheduled to be longer: 4 minutes. That's pretty much the maximum amount of time that the ISS flyby ever lasts, since it moves so fast.
So get your binoculars out and happy ISS viewing to all!
