Get the SkyView app on your iPhone
Type In international space station and follow the arrow
you can also see the 35,000 pieces of space junk orbiting the earth

ISS Detector is another great app for the Space station, especially if you are into ham radio and want to communicate with the ISS.

They still send out SSTV images now and then if you are into that.

OP, I have watched many satellites and other debris passing overhead and some of them were tumbling out of control. all of it will come back to earth eventually. also just noticed your sig line, if you haven't read Richard Dawkins' book " The Selfish Gene " have someone put it under the Christmas tree for you. the title is deceptive, not intuitive but by the time you get past the first chapter or two the veil will lift and you will truly be sentient.

On your phone with the ISS Live Now app, you can see live images as well.

The app even counts down to "sunset" on the station.
