Satellites?

Ran across something interesting today here. It's a tracker that lets you know when notable satellites are passing overhead. Just type in your zip code and you can figure out when to look for the International Space Station to go by. It also mentions where to look, both direction and elevation. (Simple elevation tip, 90 degrees is right overhead. Your fist at full outstretched arm is approximately 10 degrees.)
I mention this because the Space Station is crossing over the U.S. every night the rest of the week. Tonight was too cloudy for us but I'm hopeful for tomorrow.
