Međunarodna svemirska stanica (ISS) kruži oko Zemlje svakih ~90 minuta i često se vidi sa Zemljine površine kao sjajna tačka, naročito nekoliko sati pre izlaska i nakon zalaska Sunca. Nalazi se na oko 260 milja (~420 km) visine i kreće se brzinom od oko 17.500 mph (~28.200 km/h). Koristite aplikacije kao što je NASA "Spot the Station" ili ESA-ine tragače da dobijete tačna vremena i pravac pojave; golim okom je obično jasno vidljiva, a dvogledi ili teleskop otkrivaju dodatne detalje.
Gde i kada gledati ISS: Kako uočiti Međunarodnu svemirsku stanicu sa Zemlje
International Space Station often visible from Earth. How to spot it
Međunarodna svemirska stanica (ISS) dugo je prepoznatljiv simbol ljudskog prisustva u svemiru i već više od 25 godina služi kao orbitálna laboratorija za istraživanja u mikrogravitaciji. Iako većina nas ne može da je poseti uživo, ISS se često može videti sa Zemlje kao sjajna tačka koja preleće nebo.
Osnovne činjenice
ISS kruži oko Zemlje otprilike jednom u 90 minuta, što znači oko 16 prolaza dnevno. Nalazi se na visini od približno 260 milja (~420 km) i kreće se brzinom od oko 17.500 milja na sat (~28.200 km/h). Partnerstvo za upravljanje stanicom čine NASA, Roscosmos, Evropska svemirska agencija (ESA), JAXA i kanadska agencija (CSA).
Kako i kada je najbolje uočiti
Najpovoljnije vreme za posmatranje je nekoliko sati pre izlaska i nekoliko sati nakon zalaska Sunca. ISS ne emituje sopstveno svetlo, već reflektuje Sunčevu svetlost — zbog velikih solarnih panela može biti veoma sjajna, ponekad čak i sjajnija od planete Venere. Tokom prolaska izgleda kao čvrsta, konstantno svetleća tačka koja se brzo kreće preko neba i obično se čini da putuje od zapada prema istoku.
Praktični saveti
- Obezbedite neometan pogled na otvoreno nebo bez zgrada ili drveća u pravcu pojavljivanja.
- Posmatranje je najbolje u sumrak ili zoru — tada je nebo dovoljno tamno da se refleksija vidi, a station još uvek osvetljena Suncem.
- Dvogledi ili mali teleskopi mogu otkriti detalje poput solarnih panela i modularne strukture, ali golim okom će ISS biti jasno vidljiv kao sjajna tačka.
Aplikacije i alati za praćenje
Koristite pouzdane alate za najtačnija obaveštenja o prolascima:
- NASA-ina aplikacija "Spot the Station" šalje notifikacije za vašu lokaciju i daje vreme i pravac pojave.
- ESA-ini onlajn tragači takođe prikazuju trenutnu poziciju, putanju poslednjih 90 minuta i predviđenu putanju narednih 90 minuta.
- Planetary Society i drugi servisi nude dodatne podatke i procene učestalosti prolazaka za vašu geografsku širinu.
Ko je trenutno u svemiru
Na ISS je u okviru ekspedicije 74 trenutno sedam članova posade. Među njima su četiri člana koji su stigli sa misijom Crew-12 sredinom februara: NASA astronauti Jessica Meir i Jack Hathaway, astronautkinja ESA Sophie Adenot i ruski kosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. Pored njih, na stanicu su krajem novembra stigli NASA astronaut Chris Williams i ruski kosmonauti Sergey Mikaev i Sergey Kud-Sverchkov (Soyuz MS-28).
Zaključak
ISS ostaje lako dostupan i atraktivan cilj za posmatranje na nebu — dovoljno je imati aplikaciju ili onlajn tragač i čist pogled na horizont. Pre nego što stara orbitalna platforma bude u budućnosti povučena i eventualno deorbitirana, verovatno ćete imati još mnogo prilika da je vidite kako prolazi iznad vas.
The crew of Artemis II captured a breathtaking image of a celestial event known as an "Earthset," in which the Earth dropped below the lunar horizon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic "Earthrise" photo that NASA astronaut Bill Anders captured in 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission that showed our planet rising on the lunar horizon.
Artemis II Commander Reid Wiseman of NASA took this stunning photograph of Earth from the Orion spacecraft's window on April 2. The image is reminiscent of the iconic "blue marble" image captured during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
In this new image from the Artemis II crew, NASA explains that what is depicted is the "divide between night and day, known as the terminator, cutting across Earth."

One of the most well-known photographs of Earth, the "blue marble" image was taken by the crew of the final Apollo mission (Apollo 17) as the crew made its way to the moon in 1972.
Voyager 1's 1990 photo of Earth, widely referred to as the "pale blue dot," was taken at a distance of 3.7 billion miles from the sun, making it the first photo taken beyond all the planets in our solar system. This image was created in 2020 or the 30th anniversary of the iconic picture using modern image-processing software and techniques to revisit the well-known Voyager view.
Because the International Space Station orbits so close to Earth's atmosphere (about 250 miles high,) the outpost and the astronauts who have lived aboard it have been the source of plenty of spectacular photos of our planet for 25 years. This recent photo, taken April 6, 2026, shows auroras glowing over the Indian Ocean.
