Get your ISS Updates from Twitter

We mentioned this a couple of years ago, but I think it’s time for a reminder. There’s a great Twitter service called @twisst, which you can use to notify you when the International Space Station is going to be passing overhead in your region. It pulls your location from your profile, and then calculates good viewing times for you to see the station. All you have to do is follow the Twitter account.

Oh, and while you’re following Twitter accounts, don’t forget to follow the Universe Today Twitter feed.

P.S. Now I’m off to watch the station go overhead my house… thanks @twisst!
