For the month of May 2024 several of us are taking on the 30-Day Astronomy Coach4aday Challenge. The simple concept is to learn something about the cosmos each day. For May 14th it is a brief explanation about how to locate the ISS or International Space Station.
For many people just knowing that the ISS or International Space Station has been in orbit for 25 years is a shock. There have also been 270 plus astronauts visit. It is anticipated that the ISS will be occupied until at least 20230.
Astronomy Challenge Suggested Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines.
- Each day in May learn something new about our universe either by reading or observation.
- Share that knowledge with others
- If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms

If you know when the ISS is flying overhead, it is visible to the naked eye. Here is a link to determine its location.
