    According to the Smithsonian:

    The first piece of the International Space Station, a cargo block named Zarya, went into orbit in 1998. Ever since, the ISS has been steadily picking up pieces, becoming bigger and more reflective. It is now the second brightest object in the night sky, bested only by the Moon.

    We are lucky enough to live in rural San Luis Obispo County, so we don’t have too much ambient light.
