You can get a list of chances to view the Shuttle or Space Station as it flies over your town at this website: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/

On the best passes, the pair looks about the size and brightness of Jupiter. You can clearly follow it with just your eyes, but a pair of binos will bring out some shape and color as well. It moves too fast for tracking with a spotting scope.

Enjoy!

Watched it tonight. Gorgeous.

Tomorrow night should be even better (from here in Utah) as it will appear almost between Jupiter and Venus in the SW sky - and be as bright. Wow!
