Can you spot the International Space Station?
Don’t forget to check out the night sky to see if you can spot the ISS. Download the ‘ISS Detector’ app to track the ISS and the planets of our solar system.
If you see it, make sure you watch it as it travels across the sky. It is at its brightest when it is right above you!
