International Space Station to cross Jeddah sky tonight, visible for over 6 minutes

The International Space Station will be visible in the Jeddah sky for over 6 minutes and 30 seconds tonight, appearing as a bright, steady light to the naked eye. Majed Abu Zahra, president of the Jeddah Astronomy Society, provided details on the station's path, stating it will emerge above the southwestern horizon at 6:06 p.m. shining brightly as one of the sky's most luminous objects.

Abu Zahra also explained the station's high orbital speed and its visibility due to sunlight reflecting off its structure and solar panels, while onlookers are in darkness.
