A bright space station will soar over the US this week — and it's not the ISS. Here's how to see it

This week, observers across the United States have a unique opportunity to witness the Chinese Tiangong space station without any specialized equipment. The station will appear as a bright point of light in the night sky, visible to the naked eye. Experts recommend finding an area away from city lights for optimal viewing conditions. The event is occurring due to the station’s current orbit over the US. This marks the first time that the public has been able to observe the entire structure of the Tiangong space station directly.
