You can check heavens above (adjust your location) to check when it will be visible for you.
Wait a second, it’s going to pass over my house in 5 minutes!
Edit: Shit, clouds!
Edit2: I was able to see it through a few gaps in the cloud cover!
Wow. Suprised this is ground level visible. Cool that you saw it!
Fuck that’s cool. You lucky bastard.
NASA needs to check their altitude privilege
