Conjunction + ISS

This Sunday (8th), the moon, Venus & Saturn are together in the Western sky.

As seen from Adelaide & surrounds, at 19:53 the ISS will pass (very close to Spica) between Venus & the crescent moon before traversing Crux and then disappearing into Earth's shadow.

Ian Musgrave has more details: http://astroblogger.blogspot.com.au/

A similar ISS transit happens on Monday the 9th, but with a less tight grouping.
