If you want to see the International Space Station, and now that they are separated the Space Shuttle, go by in the sky here is the site and information so you can get the times and location in the sky so you can see it.
Go to Human Space Flight (HSF) - Realtime Data
On the left of the screen in sighting opportunities, click on "Go to country"
Then choose your state and then closest city. That will give you the dates, times, duration of sighting, direction it will become visible and where it will disappear.
If there is not a city close to you then when you get to the state listings, click on the "NASA Skywatch Applet" enter your zip code and hit enter then choose from the choices "next pass", "Next Sighting", "Weekly Sightings" or "All Sightings" That will give you the times it will be visible from your location.
In the NASA Skywatch Applet, if you click "Next Sighting" it will give you the time. Below the times click "Sky Track" and it will give you a star map that shows the stars that you will see and the path of travel of the Space station across your stars so it may be easier to track.
It will be the brightest thing in the sky. Now that the Space Shuttle has separated from the International Space Station you will also be able to see it separately. The website includes times to see it also.
Hope the sky is clear so you all can see it.
