Can you spot the International Space Station tonight?

A little bit of science learning for a Thursday! This evening, starting at 8:28pm and disappearing four minutes later, the International Space Station (ISS) will be viewable in the night sky from the UK.

Look to the West ... the ISS will appear as a bright white dot travelling through the sky to the South and then disappearing to the East.

The ISS orbits the Earth 250 miles up in space. Six astronauts are currently living and working on board.
