We just watched the Space Station go over our house. We waved.... but nothing. You would have thought they would have acknowledged by waggling the wings

I not sure, but I think I missed it. What looks interesting is the cluster of lights in the middle of the pic, which I don't know what it is....

You can normally tell Mars as it has a reddish hue.

There’s a app you can download call SkyView, all you need to do is point the phone camera at the object in the sky you want to identify and it tells you what it is.
