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.

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!
