One of the best places to view an upcoming passing of the International Space Station on August 16th is the Spokane area starting at 9:27 p.m. A 11 minute viewing will begin in the southwest area of the sky as it travels north of the city to the northeast.

Real time satellite trackings define this as an excellent visible pass. Its maximum altitude at 9:32 p.m., reaches a magnitude (measurement of brightness) of -2.5. If you're not sure how bright that is, -2.5 is also the minimum brightness of a new moon.

Saturday, August 13th is a chance for your kids to see real firefighters at work.

Fire District 9 Station 95 is opening its doors for visitors between 10 am and 3pm.

Kids (and adults) can come see Smokey Bear, fire trucks, MedStar and enjoy hot dogs.

The station is at 3028 West Strong.
