## MMM-ISS
Know when the International Space Station is visible. Based on your latitude and longitude.
## Cool Fact
The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 miles per hour.
That's about 5 miles per second! This means the ISS orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes!
## Can I see it without a telescope?
You sure as hell can! Every so often, you can see the ISS in your night sky. To us on Earth, it looks like
a bright star moving quickly above the horizon. Visible to the naked eye, the ISS is best seen at dawn and dusk.
It is the third brightest object in the sky.
## Multiple instances
* Simply add another config entry
## What you get
* The current altitude of the ISS
* The current velocity of the ISS
* The date and time of the next sighting for your location
* Length of time the ISS will be visible
* The direction you should be looking to see the ISS when it appears
## Examples
 
## Installation
* `git clone https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-ISS` into the `~/MagicMirror/modules` directory.
* No dependencies, yet! :-)

@Mykle1, Thanks for making these modules. I have 2 of yours installed. Might I suggest adding to the readme that the module can’t use every location and that it can only use ones listed on the findthesation.nasa.gov site.
