In late May-early June each year, the International Space Station’s [ISS] orbit and Earth’s day-night terminator nearly align. From the astronauts’ viewpoint, the sun never sets, much like seeing the midnight sun from the Arctic Circle. From down on the planet between latitudes 40-55 degrees north, the ISS remains in sunlight during repeated 90 minute-long orbits.
So beginning around 23 May through 10 June or so one can watch the ISS fly overhead from one horizon to another, . . . if one knows where to look. And one can find out where to look at the Spaceweather.com website. One need just enter one's zip code and search on "ISS".
It'll look like a very bright star, . . . but moving in a straight line across the stars.
