The International Space Station is undergoing some crazy structure , adding not one but two 115 - infantry solar panel “ wings . ” Even better , amateur astronomer can check out the advancement on their own backyard telescopes .
The ISS will be visible to North American sky - spectator in mid- to later - March , and is so Brobdingnagian that it ’s as visible as Venus . These solar wings , price at nearly $ 300 million , will just about double the ISS ’s capacity to perform scientific experiments ( that is , if they ’re not too busy with theirMarch Madness bracket ) , and give enough zip to allow for double the full - time crew member , from three to six . It take about a full five min to slide across the dark sky , which is plenty of metre to get an amateur scope all situated . If anyone has a capable setup , we ’d love to hear how much detail can be seen . [ Space TravelandSpace.com ]
