See the International Space Station from your home

Hello friends! Today I'm going to show you to see the International Space Station with your own eyes!

You can not see it during the day because it is not bright enough, so let's do it overnight.
To begin we must enter this site:

https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/

Once there, enter our location and continue clicking on "View sighting opportunities"

And send us directly to a table with the date and location where we can see the International Space Station!

great! To understand this a little better focus on the table:

In the column called "Date", it indicates the date and time where we can see the station, usually about 2 hours before or after sunrise or sunset.

In the next column "Visible" tells us how long we can see it (travel very fast)

The column "Max Height" indicates the maximum height of the Station from the Horizon in the sky ...
To have a reference we can take the measure of our closed fist resting in the Horizon that equals an angle of 10 °

In the columns "Appears" and "Desappears" will indicate where the station will appear in the sky and where it will disappear, the letters indicate the cardinal points, if we have a compass it will be much easier to find it! If they do not have one, they can use some app on their smartphone.

And ready! Following all the steps you can easily find and appreciate it! They will distinguish it very easily from a star since its brightness is different and also travels very fast!

If you are a little more pro and have a telescope, you can see something like this!

That's all for today Steemit's friends, see you in the next post!
