I just took the kids outside to watch the International Space Station fly overhead. It was visible for about five minutes, and at its brightest I thought I could see some details (the solar panels?), but it was mostly just a bright dot. It rose from the southwest, went by almost overhead, and disappeared to the northeast.
As soon as we came back inside, my wife presented us with a book, The Amazing International Space Station
, and now Peter is excitedly reading it aloud to Carolyn at the dinner table.
I got the tracking information from heavens-above.com.

You may just want to Google for this, there are quite some websites specializing in this kind of material nowadays.
I know there are some Google Maps mash-ups that shows real time flights. If you got the right data, not much seems impossible :)
I wonder whether Google Earth would have that sort of thing…

I tried to find this tracking tool on Google Maps, I know there is a mash-up of the data and the Google Maps API.
Got any clue? This one is nice, but bundling them all on Google Maps would really “rock”!
I actually caught a glimpse from nyc this evening, and saw the fireworks going off over the brooklyn bridge for its 125th anniversary. Quite a night in the skies.
