Tonight (Friday 9 February) most of Australia will see vivid asses of the ISS and the Tiangong house station. Most are concurrent, however for Adelaide, Sydney and Hobart the happen on the similar time (see above). There are too many passes for me to do all of Australia, so go to Heavens Above and take a look at the devoted move instances in your web site.
