Now that Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield has embarked on a six-month mission to the International Space Station, earthlings wanting to catch a glimpse of the orbital research laboratory can easily see it if they know where to look.

Orbiting a mere 370 kilometres above the Earth, the ISS can easily be seen by the naked eye as it passes over the Earth if you know where to look.

Hadfield, along with two fellow astronauts, blasted off into space Wednesday morning from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, aboard a Soyuz spacecraft.

According to NASA, the space station is one of the most visible man-made objects in the sky because its large surface area reflects lots of sunlight. From the ground, it looks like a steady white pinpoint of light moving slowly just 7.71 kilometres per second across the night sky.

The best time to spot the space station is near dawn or dusk, when the sky is dark but the spacecraft is still reflecting light from the setting or rising sun.

NASA uses sophisticated computer software to track the space station's path and predict when and where it will be visible to people on the ground.

In November 2012, the agency launched a service called Spot the Station that lets users sign up to receive text message or email alerts whenever the spacecraft is visible overhead from their location.

It also offers an online tool called Skywatch (which is currently under maintenance) to help space enthusiasts track and observe the space station as well as other satellites orbiting the Earth.

The space station's next visible pass over Toronto is on Wednesday at around 4:45 p.m. ET. People in Saskatchewan can try to catch a glimpse at around 5:20 p.m. CT. At 4:55 p.m. PT, the space station will make a visible pass over Vancouver.

According to NASA, the ISS usually appears over the western horizon and disappears over the eastern horizon in a matter of a few minutes.
