Space Station Visible From Glen Cove Tuesday
Object will cross sky early Tuesday morning.
The International Space Station will be visible to local residents for five minutes Tuesday morning, according to NASA.
The station will appear in its orbit in the northwest at 5 a.m. and achieve a maximum height of 42 degrees, then disappear in the east-southeast.
It is the third-brightest object in the sky behind the sun and moon, and is easy to see when you know where to look, according to a website that offers email alerts when it is set to pass overhead.

"The space station looks like a fast-moving plane in the sky, though one with people living and working aboard it more than 200 miles above the ground. It is best viewed on clear nights," said the website.
