According to NASA's Spot the Station website, you will be able to spot the ISS until May 29.

The ISS is the largest man-made satellite and is the length of a football pitch with six astronauts living on board.

The satellite orbits the earth every 90 minutes and throughout the year there are several good opportunities to see it up above.

According to NASA the space station "looks like an aeroplane or a very bright star moving across the sky, except it doesn't have flashing lights or change direction".

"It will also be moving considerably faster than a typical aeroplane."

No special equipment is needed to see the station as it is visible to the bare eye and it travels from west to east.
