ISS pass this evening, transiting the Pleiades from Liverpool
There are two visible ISS passes this evening, the first of which, according to Heavens Above, will pass right through the middle of the Pleiades cluster as viewed from Liverpool (see map below).
Shortly afterwards, this pass will also take the ISS Just above Jupiter and then the Moon.
The second pass is much shorter, lower and fainter and will not pass near any of the items mentioned above.
