Great time to see the International Space Station with yer own eyeballs. Prove to yourself its no CGI hologram, lol.

The annual International Space Station marathon viewing season begins later this week, when skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere can watch up to five ISS passes in one night......

Each year within a few weeks of summer solstice in either hemisphere, the space station’s orbit and Earth’s day–night terminator nearly align. For a few days and nights the Sun never sets on the ISS. Like seeing the "midnight Sun" at the Arctic Circle on the first day of summer, astronauts and their craft bask in sunlight 24/7. The Northern Hemisphere season happens between May and July; southern observers get their turn between November and January. This year's brief season begins on Friday, May 17th, and wraps up on the 20th.
