The ISS will be visible tonight at 10:25, 11:59, 0:35

A space shuttle will launch at 12:38 and be over Ireland about 15 mins later just behind the shuttle again

"Unfortunately the space shuttle which was scheduled to depart at 1238 has been cancelled, due to unforeseen meteorites on the track. Passengers are advised to take the 1340 service (constructed from a 1925 wooden carriage and a refurbished DART, pulled by the station cat), which will serve all stations to Neptune. A trolley service will be available (coffee/tea for €4 plus booking fee)."

What part of the sky is the ISS visible in and in which direction is it moving?

Theres no way they'd make an informative announcement.

On Saturday night the Shuttle zoomed fairly quickly directly over the gaff. Very nice.

Bloody stereo was blaring from it. Think it was one of them Souped-up Shuttles those kids are all driving these days.
