Space station over Irish skies tonight

The Irish skies will feature the International Space Station tonight as it passes over this part of the world tonight, travelling at over 18,000 miles per hour.

The station, which cost over $100bn to construct and has three crewmembers, will be the brightest object in the Irish sky and will be easily visible from half past seven onwards.

Where do you get that info from?

Do you ring Astronomy Ireland's hotline, or is there somewhere on the web that has it?
