2. The International Space Station
The biggest and most expensive spacecraft ever put in orbit, the International Space Station (ISS), will be visible in the evening skies from February 11th to 25th.

Each afternoon Astronomy Ireland will publish the times the ISS will be visible at www.astronomy.ie/iss and you can also receive daily reminders of this time by texting the word SPACE to 57003 (subscription service; one message will be sent each day the ISS is visible and it costs €1 per message received).

Be sure to keep up to date with the ISS as it can sometimes pass in front of the Moon and Jupiter!
