International Space Station visible over Karachi

The International Space Station was visible to Karachiites on Tuesday at 6:42 PM.

The space station, which is the third brightest object in the sky and easy to spot from naked eye, will be visible today for only three minutes.

“Visible to the naked eye, it looks like a fast-moving plane only much higher and travelling thousands of miles an hour faster,” according to the NASA.

The first component of the space station—which is in the low Earth orbit—was launched in 1998. ISS is now the largest artificial body in orbit.
