Stargazers are in for a treat tonight with both the International Space Station and Comet NEOWISE visible in UK skies.

Last night, the comet was at its closest to Earth and in turn at its most visible.

But if you're yet to see the super bright comet, there is still hope because it will remain visible for the remainder of July.

It's one of the brightest comets to pass over the Earth in recent history, making it easy to spot without a telescope or binoculars.

It's extra good news for amateur astronomers as the International Space Station (ISS) will also be visible in the night sky on several occasions on Friday and Saturday.

So pack up the car, grab a blanket and head to one of Cambridgeshire's many stargazing spots to enjoy the wonder of the night sky.

Keep reading to find out how to spot the super bright Comet Neowise and the ISS.

Experts say to find the comet you need to look east.

The comet will appear underneath the Plough constellation, and just above the horizon.

Space.com advises that stargazers hold the bottom of their clenched fist on the horizon and the comet will appear above it.

Sometimes known as 'the Big Dipper' The Plough is part of a larger constellation called the Ursa major.

It's easy to spot in the sky because it looks somewhat like a big saucepan with a handle.

The comet was at its closest to the Earth on Thursday(July 23) but by Saturday (July 25) the comet will have moved so that it is directly underneath the Plough, as it moves further westwards and slightly higher on our horizon every night.

The International Space Station (ISS) will be visible from the UK tonight and tomorrow.

The ISS orbits the Earth about 16 times a day but it's not always visible at the most sociable times,reports the Mirror. It travels at a height of about 400km.

Tonight, it will be visible at 10.29pm and in the early hours of tomorrow at 12.06am.

There will be other chances to see it over the weekend, as detailed below.

It is usually the brightest object in the night sky after the Moon.
