INDIANAPOLIS — Another clear evening and overnight in central Indiana will be the perfect backdrop for sky-viewing and there will be plenty to see.
Each passing night the Comet NEOWISE progressively gets higher in the northwest horizon.

Next three evenings (1 hour after sunset local) and next two mornings (around 4 AM local) clear conditions provide opportunity to see comet NEOWISE. Northwestern sky tonight approx 10:15 pm. Good luck and let me know if you see it #INwx #13weather

If you're trying to watch the night pass you'll want to look northwest around an hour after sunset and the 90+ minutes following.
Tuesday morning provides another perfect opportunity for comet viewing in the northeastern horizon.
Eric Teske of Noblesville and Dean Hockney of Kokomo were both able to capture NEOWISE early Monday morning. The time to look is approximately between 4 - 5:30 a.m.

In addition to the comet, the International Space Station will make several flyovers in the coming days as central Indiana is firmly in its orbit.
A great opportunity to see a six-minute flyover tonight between 10:48 PM - 10:54 PM.
This will be followed by four six-minute flyovers Tuesday, most of which should be clear for viewing. Good luck!
