Santa Sighting in Central Florida!
On Christmas Eve, around 6pm, you may see something streaking across central Florida sky! Is it Santa Claus??
Actually, it's the International Space Station!
It should be visible in the sky for 3-4 minutes, starting in the southwest, heading toward the northeast. Depending on your location, it could be high as 81 degrees above the horizon.

Enjoy this great viewing opportunity! (And a great opportunity to tell your kids, "Look, there he is, heading out to start delivering presents!"
