Spotted something interesting this morning in Google News Reader, which I use to track various media outlets from the Outer Banks to Richmond. Richmond TV station WTVR reported that the International Space Station would be visible over Richmond tonight. I checked and found the station will be seen over Hampton Roads, as well.
According to NASA's spaceflight page, the station will be over Virginia Beach for about four minutes, beginning at 7:36pm. It will pass roughly WSW to NE.
If you've never seen a sky transit by the station, it's worth checking out. The ISS is visible with the naked eye as a rather bright star passing quickly overhead.
