BREVARD COUNTY (GaeaTimes.com)- On Wednesday, thousands flocked in the open grounds and the terraces in Brevard County in order to be part of the International Space Station viewing. The International Space Station, it was reported a few days back, was to be seen in the sky above Brevard County on Wednesday. It was reported that the Space Station would be viewed in the sky at approximately 8:44 in the night, although, the scientists warned, the residents would not be able to see the space station flying if the sky remained overcast. In fact, it was being speculated that there was a possibility that the residents of Brevard County would not be able to see the space station owing to the cloud cover.
Although the reported time of the space station viewing was said to be around 8:44 p.m., it was reported by the scientists that it would be seen in various areas of Brevard County at various times, depending on which part the residents were viewing it from. The international space station made its way toward the northeast, moving at an angle of about 17 degrees, and continued at a leisurely pace.
Not everybody in Brevard County were able to be part of the space station viewing, as the sky indeed had a partial cloud over, and the station, being hardly a luminous dot in the sky, disappeared from view. In fact, the scientists had warned that there would hardly be any distinguishing feature in the space station that would mark it as different from the other celestial bodies, such as the stars and planets, except the act that it moved much slower that the other bodies, and took almost four minutes to cross Brevard County.
