Orbiting Space Shuttles and the International Space Station are occasionally visible from Davis. Another awesome thing to look for is Iridium flares! Davis is particularly fortunate to have low levels of light pollution, especially away from the campus and downtown, which makes spotting spacecraft easier. You can find a list of upcoming Space Shuttle and ISS observation times and locations for Davis at ![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png){kind=small}
"NASA's Human Space Flight page" or you can just tell heavens-above.com where you are on the globe and they will tell you when and where in the sky and at what intensity EVERYTHING man made will be seen from your current location

One way to find a good spot for stargazing is to drive south on Mace Boulevard into the country roads. Sacramento will light up the eastern horizon and Davis is to the north, but you'll have good visibility for spotting dim objects in the majority of the sky. Another is the Gazebo in the arboretum, and another is in North D, but you have to crouch a bit into the toilet bowl to kill some of the ambient light.
