SYRACUSE, NY (WSYR)- The International Space Station, or ISS for short, is expected to make an appearance in Central New York this weekend.<\/p>\n
The ISS is one of the most visible man-made objects in the sky. Close up, it looks like a large spacecraft where some astronauts live and work. According to NASA, the space station is as big as a five-bedroom house!<\/p>\n
The space station, which several nations worked together to build, circles earth at 17,500 mph about 250 miles up in the sky. Here on land, it looks more like a slow-moving star.<\/p>\n
The timing of visibility of the ISS and a large area of high pressure over the Northeast will align this weekend. This will provide us with great viewing conditions.<\/p>\n
