STARGAZING - TRACKING ISS OVER YOUR HOME AND ASTROLOGICAL VIEWS IN TONIGHT'S SKY

Track the International Space Station (ISS) When It Flies Over Your Home...

Spot The Station - Get the free app by NASA - Johnson Space Center to predict the approximate time and location the International Space Station will fly over your home. NASA has compiled a massive list of sighting opportunities worldwide that allows you to search by your specific city when ISS will be visible for you to see with your eye. 

Did you know that the ISS travels at a speed of 17,150 miles per hour - while orbiting 250 miles above the Earth? Because of this, it is only visible for a few minutes, and circles the Earth once every 92 minutes. The best viewing times are at dust and dawn. 

How to View International Space Station without a telescope!" by WSAV3

1. Go to: https://www.nasa.gov/spot-the-station/ and enter your Country, State, and City (Example: United States - Arkansas - Little Rock). The site will tell you the exact timing and direction for tonight’s pass. Notice the sighting dates and times ISS is visible.

2. Look for both the direction and elevation it appears above the horizon, and track it until it reaches maximum height (shown in degrees). At this point, ISS disappears above the horizon. If this sighting is viewed at a low angle (say 10 degrees), you should position yourself at a higher point in in your city - away from trees or mountains where you can see the horizon. 

3. To determine if you have an adaquate viewing angle, extend your arm outward with a fist facing North of the horizon, the top of your fist will be about 10 degrees. If there is anything blocking your view, move to a higher elevation to view ISS.

Directions: Take I-40 to Exit 129 in Conway. Turn onto Dave Ward Drive, then right onto East Oak Street - the Conway Expo Center will be on your right.

 Hours: Early-morning registration (patients line up very early) - clinics typically begin seeing patients around 6:00 am and run until capacity is reached each day (often mid-afternoon).

Services Offered:

• Dental cleanings
• Fillings
• Extractions

All services are completely free of charge.

Who Can Attend

• Open to all: The clinic is open to both children and adults - anyone who needs care can come.
• No insurance or income requirements: You do not need dental insurance, proof of income, or eligibility paperwork.
• First-come, first-served: Patients are served in the order they arrive each day. Registration starts very early (often before sunrise) because there are limited treatment slots each day.
• Health considerations: There are no strict qualifying standards, but severe medical issues like fever, uncontrolled blood pressure, very high blood sugar, or a history of excessive bleeding may prevent treatment for safety reasons.

• Arrive Early: Clinics often have more people than slots - getting there early improves the chance of being seen. Note: In previous years, lines have begun forming around 2:00 am on the morning of the clinic.
• Plan for Potential Wait: Treatment capacity is typically limited (e.g., around 800 patients over the two days).
