A professor is helping his neighbours to look to the stars.

Dr Mark Erickson has posted the times that the International Space Station can be viewed in the sky in the front window of his house.

The lecturer who teaches applied social science at University of Brighton has the list printed from the NASA website with the days and times that the space station can be seen.

His civic gesture means that often at dusk half a dozen residents in Tidy Street, Brighton, can be seen staring up at the sky.
