Thanks Rita, that's really good.
It's strange to think that an object which covers a similar area to that of 2 jumbo jets flying side by side in space is the brightest thing in the sky when it's visible here.
The International Space Station is visible during early evening from the UK at the moment complete with the space shuttle Discovery which is currently on it's final mission.
From the Midlands the ISS wil be visible this evening at 7.39pm
