At 05:27:09 CST the ISS reached an altitude of 51° and a magnitude of -3.1 over Dover, OK, and at 06:31:05 EST it reached an altitude of 47° and a magnitude of -3.4 over Altoona, PA.
Dover is 1142.7 miles from Altoona. The time the ISS took to travel the whole distance was 3 minutes and 54 seconds.
The sky in Dover was slightly hazy. The sky in Altoona was clear.
I could see the moon and a few of the brighter stars as dawn approached. RDJ-Pup woofed at a bunny. Hush, pup. At 12 degrees, it was a bit cold to be standing still outside. At the predicted time, there it was! It is totally awesome to see it and marvel at the accuracy of the astronomers and astronauts.
