The International Space Station was visible over New Jersey Wednesday evening.

The ISS appeared in the southern sky around 5:30 p.m.

Officials said that nighttime was the best time to view the ISS when the station is reflecting light from the sun. This typically occurs in the morning before sunrise or in the evening after sunset.

The ISS can be spotted by the naked eye due to the size and how much sunlight it reflects.
