Look to the skies over Pittsburgh to see the ISS

PITTSBURGH — UPDATE: If you missed the International Space Station Thursday night, you'll have another opportunity to view it tonight!

It will be visible Friday night for six minutes. You’ll want to start by looking in the south, southwest sky near the horizon at 7:58 p.m. It will cross the sky and then disappear at 8:04 p.m. just above the east, northeast horizon.

There may be a few clouds around but overall, they shouldn’t be too thick.

Happy spotting!
