Orbiting Space Shuttles are occasionally visible from Davis. 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 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".
One good spot 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.

The International Space Station is occasionally visible from Davis. Davis is particularly fortunate to have low levels of light pollution, especially away from the campus and downtown, which makes spotting spacecraft easier. After the completion of STS-119, the space station will be the brightest object in the night sky except for the moon, assuming that the sun continues its pattern of not emerging during the night.
