Two prediction sets are provided here, one for all passes, and a separate one for passes visible to the naked eye.

On a clear night and with the sun in a suitable position it is possible to see the ISS as it orbits overhead. The station appears as a bright star like object moving across the sky from West to East. If you are seeing a flashing light, you are looking at an aircraft! During shuttle missions the station is much brighter due to the increased mass of the shuttle being attached.
I update both data sets each week on a Sunday, and the files which open in a new window, are in a text format to enable easy printing.
Don't forget the times shown are in UTC (GMT.)
You can also see the current position of the ISS on a 'Google Gadget' by opening the ISS Tracking link below.
