The International Space Station will be visible in our skies for the next two weeks from tonight.

It will look like an extremely bright star and will take a couple of minutes to cross the sky.

The ISS, which has 6 astronauts on board, is travelling at 28 thousand kilometres an hour, and is around 400 kilometres above the ground.

It orbits the earth every 90 minutes and, weather permitting, should be visible in our skies at around 11.25 tonight.
