Have you ever wanted to see the International Space Station (ISS)? <\/p>\n
Intergalactic travel might be out of the question, but now NASA experts are telling people when the ISS will be visible in different parts of the world - including in our region this month. <\/p>\n
The space explorers have an updated list of times when the ISS will be able to be viewed in Dorking, Farnborough, Farnham and Guildford. <\/p>\n
The ISS, which appears as a bright glowing object, looks like a fast-moving plane or star shooting across the horizon. <\/p>\n
The space station is currently habited by a crew of six people and orbits at a height of about 264 miles, traveling around the earth 15 times a day. <\/p>\n
The ISS has been in space for more than 5,800 days, during which time it has completed more than 92,000 orbits of the planet, and has been continuously occupied for more than 13 years, <\/p>\n
To see it, look south or west in the night sky. <\/p>\n
It pretty much looks like a bright star or fast-moving plane. <\/p>\n
It has no flashing lights and doesn't make a sound, so that's how you can tell the difference between it and any aircraft in the sky. <\/p>\n
Times are also available for areas bordering the region including in Worthing, Bracknell and East Grinstead. <\/p>\n
