See the International Space Station Over Louisiana Tonight

The International Space Station (ISS) passed over the skies of Northwest Louisiana and East Texas last night, but don't fret if you missed it, you'll have one more opportunity tonight. 

Forecasters are calling for clear skies again tonight so spotting the mammoth space station should be relatively easy.  With the ISS about the size of a football field, it reflects a great deal of sunlight, making it extremely visible in the dark of night.

We're told that it will appear as a slow-moving airplane in the sky, although the light will be steady, without the frequent blinking of an airplane. The ISS will appear over Northwest Louisiana around 6:44 p.m. and remain visible until 6:51 and will move from northwest to southeast.
