WANT TO SPOT THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION?
You can find out when ISS will be visible from your location from this website (you can also set-up an alert).
When the ISS is passing overhead, you can either use the coordinates given on the above website to find out the exact location of ISS, or you can use a night sky app to locate ISS. If it is not cloudy, ISS is easy to spot. It is like a very bright dot in the sky that is travelling very fast.
You can even photograph, or make a video / time-lapse of ISS. Read more about night-sky photography in the Astrophotography section of this course.
