The 10th anniversary of the ISS led my, via some forum shenanigans and a big fat Jupiter, to Heavens-Above.com.  My inner spacefan is all a-squee over this: plug in your location and it'll work out locations and times for a whole raft of groovy phenomena, from a regular starfield (ah, so it was Venus and Jupiter that were big and bright tonight!) to the visible passes of the ISS and the Iridium sat-phone satellites (so bright they're visible in the day - next good one is Monday afternoon).

It almost makes me wish I had kids, so I could point up and say, "there's people in that!" -- and then take 'em to NASA's mission TV site so they could see them.  Mmm, science.
