The International Space Station(ISS), the largest artificial object in space and the largest satellite in low Earth orbit seen this morning in Singapore. It is regularly visible to the naked eye from Earth's surface maintaining an orbit with an average altitude of 400 kilometres from Earth. Today the ISS was visible for about 6 minutes appearing at 10° above N and disappearing at 10° above ESE reaching a maximum height of 27° in Singapore.
These images were taken from the screenshot of the video that I had taken this morning of the ISS flyby. Even with a telescope, the details may not be seen clearly but one could see a tiny dot moving across the sky. The fact is I took the video from my smartphone.
