Did you know that the International Space Station is the third largest visible object in the sky, behind only the sun and moon? However, although it is easily observable to the naked eye, it is difficult to identify if we do not know when and where to look. After all, the ISS looks like a plane crossing the sky quickly, only visible for a few moments.

However, if you would like to be warned each time the International Space Station is crossing the sky over the city you live in, simply complete a registration to participate in a free NASA service, and the space agency will send a warning. with detailed information directly to your email or mobile phone.

According to the space agency, the service is available to anyone - anywhere on the planet - who has access to the internet or a cell phone capable of receiving text messages. ISS can be spotted from 4, 600 locations, so if your city is not listed on NASA's website, try choosing an option that is as close as possible to where you live.
