NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Chris Cassidy and are scheduled to depart the International Space Station’s Quest airlock Tuesday at 7:30am ET for a spacewalk to conduct a series of tasks in preparation for future upgrades to the station.  Set your alarm clocks (or your DVR) and tune in to the NASA TV channel or the agency's website for this historic event. Almost makes us want to don our own space garb and tag along! 

Details on our website (find some hidden clues) and at <https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2020/07/20/nasa-tv-broadcasts-spacewalk-on-tuesday/>

ALSO … a few new photos on our home page, as screen scraped below.

Enjoy!

Good info Michael, thank you!  Should be good viewing tonight if we can find a place high enough to look close to the NW horizon.  (Trees are in the way at most of my known spots.)  Will try viewing tonight at the top of Watt Rd just before the road descends to intersect with Rt 40. 

Anyone have other suggested high spots with good views to the NW?  (Around Tellico Lake area?)

Here is a larger view of what you posted …
