Would you like an SMS or an e-mail each time the International Space Station passes over your location? Well, this is exactly the service that NASA now launches. It would appeal to everyone wanting to keep an extra eye on the ISS.

With over 4,600 programmed coordinates around the globe, taking account of trees and tall buildings, the service will keep you up to date with a guaranteed clear view of the space station. That is, also assuming good weather.

Next to the Moon, the International Space Station actually the brightest shining spot in the night sky. A clear night it does indeed look like a point of moving across the sky.
