Dark-sky tip
A bright Moon tonight. Its light hides the Milky Way and fainter meteors. Use it instead: binoculars on the line between light and dark show craters in sharp relief.
Look slightly away. Faint stars and smudges show up better when you look a little to one side of them. The edge of your vision is more sensitive to dim light than the centre; astronomers call it averted vision.

The International Space Station looks like a bright, steady star moving across the sky in a few minutes. Passes are computed from the latest orbital elements (epoch 2026-10-25); the station's orbit is adjusted from time to time, so a pass can shift by a minute or more. It may also fade suddenly when it enters Earth's shadow.
