Image for representational purpose only New Delhi: Sky watchers at Shimla were in celestial delight as they witnessed the International Space Station (ISS), the space station of NASA as a brightly glowing star passing at a significant speed.
The Space Station moves at a speed of 7.6 kilometres per second, at an orbital height of 400 kilometres.
ISS has already been seen at many places around the globe and from November 21, it was seen in Shimla. It is expected to remain in sight until December 6, 2016.
