As explained by astronomer Ary Martins, in the early hours of Saturday, the International Space Station (ISS) passed at around 5 am.
This event occurred on a trajectory that went from west to north and ended approximately on the northeast horizon.
The astronomer described that the ISS emits an intense glow, similar to that of very bright planets, such as Venus. He also noted that this type of passage is common.
According to astronomer Ary Martins, the International Space Station is considered the largest project ever developed by humanity in orbit around the Earth.
He described it as measuring more than 100 meters, highlighting that it is practically equivalent to a Maracanã orbiting the planet.
The astronomy professor at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), Rafael Miloni Santucci, says it is possible that the light seen could be attributed to Jupiter.
He clarified that reports of this type are common in relation to the two main brightest planets, which are Venus and Jupiter.
Such stars are often in conditions of maximum approximation to Earth or maximum reflection, which makes them very bright and easily visible.
