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.

Reference:

and choose your closest city. The linked page will tell you the exact time, direction, and elevation.

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