To those on the ground, the ISS passing overheard appears as a bright point of light moving briskly across the sky. NASA’s Spot the Station app will help stargazers easily locate this bright point of light using a combination of augmented reality and options for capturing videos of the sightings in real-time.
Using augmented reality, Spot the Station’s built-in compass will show you exactly where the space station is no matter where you are in the world. Turn on mobile notifications to be alerted of upcoming viewing opportunities based on your exact location. For those wondering, we’re able to see the International Space Station because it reflects the light of the Sun. Download the iOS / Android versions now.
