Where to see the Hubble Space Telescope over Tampa Bay this week

• Wednesday or Thursday will likely be the best chance at a clear sky for viewing, St. Petersburg College Planetarium director Craig Joseph told Axios.

When to keep an eye out:

• Tuesday, 9:30pm: The HST will reach its highest point in the southern sky, passing the star Regulus in the constellation Leo before disappearing into the Earth’s shadow.
• Wednesday, 9:19pm : HST will squeak past the Moon before disappearing in the eastern sky as it approaches the bright star Arcturus.
• Thursday, 9:08pm: After passing overhead, it will disappear low in the eastern sky as it passes Arcturus.
• Friday, 8:57pm: It will pass very close to Arcturus before disappearing.

Pro tip to make sure you catch a glimpse, via Heavens Above: Start looking toward the western sky a couple minutes before the predicted times.
