The clear night skies make it easy to see the International Space Station as it passes over Lanzarote but it does move quite quickly across the sky. It is traveling at 17, 150 miles per hour which means his means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes. If you are on the island and interested in spotting the space ship take a look at the table below.
