PHOTO: International Space Station Passes Over Southwest Riverside County

"The picture is a 15-second exposure as the station came across the sky at 5:57 a.m. (local)."

Did you know you can see the International Space Station from your house? As the third brightest object in the sky, after the sun and moon, the space station is easy to see if you know where and when to look for it.

Mark Grow already knew this. He submitted the attached photo of the Space Station over Temecula this morning.

"The white line is the station moving over Temecula from the northwest to the southwest," he said. "The picture is a 15-second exposure as the station came across the sky at 5:57 a.m. (local)."

NASA has an email service that sends notifications as to when the station will pass over your area, he told Patch. Click here to sign up for the service.

Although the photo has not been verified by NASA, Patch is taking Grow's word that it's legitimate. He's been a fire captain-paramedic in Lakeside, Calif., since 1981, so we're trusting him. Thanks Mark.

It is so sad that our state has allowed this to happen. I remember a few years ago when the TVUSDRead More budget was horrible and teacher's were given less than $100.00 to budget their classrooms. Teachers are allowed to ask for donations but can no longer "require" students to bring in supplies for the classroom. PARENT'S need to step up to the plate!! After all these are OUR children and it's our responsibility to help them get the best education they can get. As long as people have the "entitlement" attitude with the public school system I can only see thing getting worse and not better. Please parents, help your teacher's. It does not take a fortune to pick up something extra for the classroom while buying your own child school supplies. Just my opinion!!

Skating Rink would be great for the kids and adults who grew up skating!
The Peacekeeper May 17, 2013 at 01:14 pm
I second that thought. A roller rink would be great for the kids and "big kids", alike! IRead More recall the fun times going to the roller rink, bowling alley, parks and movies throughout Spring and Summer breaks. There was always the crystal ball spinning on the ceiling during skate contests while the DJ played, "Too Hot", from Cool and the Gang! LOL!!!

We had Mission Pools in Temecula build our pool and would highly recommend them! Brad and the entireRead More team are good, honest and fair people. The process will never be without issues but the few we had were handled quickly and professionally. They do not just build your pool and move on....they are there for years after!! Good solid company that has been around for a long time! Can't say enough good things about Mission Pools!!!

Look at Aloha Pool & Design. In my opinion these guys are honest and do good work Their websiteRead More is http://www.alohapooldesign.com. In my opinion I would avoid Tahitian Pools and Spas of Temecula / Winchester.

Nicholas: One thing ... not a nice thing ... which has not been commented upon very much is theRead More fact that this attack carried a "double sting." Not only was it directed against Americans (and their visitors for the Marathon) on "Patriot's Day" in Boston, but sundown on that terrible day marked the 65th Anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel ... at the very instant of which, in 1947, all of the surrounding Arab States simultaneously attacked. This was, if you will, "a double blow" ... and undoubtedly a "double 'Islalmic Terrorist' "Statement." Joseph B. Hudson, Jr., Esq., Fallbrook - (Member, American Society of International Law).

I never felt being Canadian that I would ever come close to losing my sisters to a terrorist attack.Read More Both of them flew to Boston from desperate parts of Canada. Mi youngest sister trained for 5 years qualifying to get in only to injure herself last year . So this was a big event this year for us . When I first heard there where bombs at the finish lines I spent 3 hours wrenched with fear , anger not being able to find out where my sisters where and if they are ok. About 4:00 pacific I heard from my mother that my lil sister crossed the finish line and was 4 blocks away looking for my other sister who was there to cheer her on . Thank God my sister was a fast runner at 3:24 she was out of the area but my other sister was not and saw the carnage just disgusting !... I am bringing here to Temecula for some Rest and happier vacation
