One of the neater things to experience when watching the sky is to find and track a satellite.  The International Space Station passes over your area every few weeks, and if you know where to look, and much more importantly, when to look, you get see it for about a minute at a time. By definition, this can only occur when the station (or any other satellite) is scheduled to pass right overhead, and the time of day is near dusk, since satellites cruise over 200 miles above earth. You must catch it when it passes at a time when the sun has set where you stand but it still shines 200 miles overhead. There is only a thin band of this condition that circles the earth.
