Observe ISS with the naked eye

Now you can watch the International Space Station (ISS) without using a telescope when it moves through your home, thanks to the new SMS service of the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA).

ISS is the third brightest object in the sky, just behind the Moon and the Sun, but almost no one can determine the location of the experimental station that is orbiting the Earth's orbit.

With the 'Spot the Station' SMS service, you will receive a notification message from NASA several hours before ISS flies across your house.

Once you know where to look in the sky, subscribers will be able to see ISS firsthand without using telescopes.

The above message service was launched on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of the people who lived and worked on ISS.

In fact, ISS can be clearly seen in the sky at dawn or twilight, when the Moon is the only object brighter than it, according to Nasa.gov.

ISS will be like a fast moving point, similar to Venus.

The 'Spot the Station' service is available worldwide, and the registered address is spotthestation.nasa.gov.
