If the sky is clear in your region..

ISS Next pass is at 00:20 tonight...

Will be directly over London coming from the WEST and head East.
Will be very very bright.

Then at 00:33 you can see the ATV re-supply module that is chasing the ISS - pass overhead as well.

The ATV re-supply module is due to dock with the ISS in the next day or so.

It is now about the size of the Emirates pitch....
And flies up in space at an altitude of 250Miles above the Earth.
