Set your phone alarms for a good view of the International Space Station Wednesday night.
The ISS will be visible (weather and clouds permitting) between 9:14 p.m. and 9:2`1 p.m., moving from the southwest to the northeast at a little over 17,000 mph. It should be nearly overhead in Acadiana at around 9:17 p.m.
It should appear as a bright star in the sky, and KATC Chief Meteorologist says clouds should begin to clear out in time to see the station.
