Tonight (Friday 9 February) most of Australia will see bright asses of the ISS and the Tiangong space station. Most are concurrent, but for Adelaide, Sydney and Hobart the occur at the same time (see above). There are too many passes for me to do all of Australia, so go to Heavens Above and look at the dedicated pass times for your site.
