From the ground, it looks like a very bright star moving across the sky at roughly the speed of a commercial airliner. But unlike an aircraft, it has no headlights or flashing navigation lights. Its brightness comes from the solar panels, which are positioned to catch sunlight and reflect it back towards Earth.<\/p>\n<p>To find out when we\u2019ll be passing overhead and where to look in the sky, check out spotthestation.nasa.gov\u2026 I won\u2019t be able to see you, even if you wave very enthusiastically, but I\u2019m thinking of you from up here!<\/p>\n<p>[French] Jour 085, orbite 1316 \u2014 Saviez-vous que vous pouvez observer la Station spatiale internationale \u00e0 l\u2019oeil nu ?

Mais contrairement \u00e0 un avion, elle n\u2019a ni phares, ni feux de position clignotants. Ce sont ses panneaux solaires, orient\u00e9s pour recevoir la lumi\u00e8re du Soleil, qui la rendent si lumineuse lorsque vous la voyez depuis la Terre.<\/p>\n<p>Pour savoir quand nous passons au-dessus de vos t\u00eates et o\u00f9 nous chercher dans le ciel, rendez-vous sur le site spotthestation.nasa.gov\u2026 Je ne pourrai pas vous voir, m\u00eame si vous faites de grands signes, mais je pense \u00e0 vous depuis l\u00e0-haut !<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<label style=\"display: block; font-size: 0.9em; color: #8197A6; margin: 3rem 0 -1rem 0;\">Embed code<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<textarea rows=\"4\" cols=\"60\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Looking for Lyrids from Orbit\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gU8qYIWAQ0o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/textarea><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Videos\/2026\/05\/Looking_for_Lyrids_from_Orbit?rand=772187\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This timelapse was published by ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot on social media with the following caption: [English] Day 085, orbit 1316 \u2014 Did you know you can spot the International&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":802202,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-802201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-multimedia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=802201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/802202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=802201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=802201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaceweekly.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=802201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
