See a view from the International Space Station as it soars over SLO County
The International Space Station’s orbit around Earth took it on a path right over San Luis Obispo County on Friday, capturing a clear video of the Central Coast from outer space.
The account @ISSAboveYou posted the video on X on Friday afternoon, showing the space station moving over the Pacific Ocean near San Luis Obispo County to the sandy Oceano Dunes and Estero Bay before continuing east to the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra National Forest, according to a social media post.
