actually you can, but it all depends on the weather. In 2006, you could see Discovery docking with the International Space Station during the twilight hours in clear weather.
"The appearance of either the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station moving across the sky is not in itself unusual. Truth be told, on any clear evening within a couple of hours of local sunset and with no optical aid, you can usually spot several orbiting Earth satellites creeping across the sky like moving stars. Satellites become visible only when they are in sunlight and the observer is in deep twilight or darkness. This usually means shortly after dusk or before dawn".

∙ 14y agoYou can, but you can even see it with just the naked eye. It is actually harder to watch a moving object with a telescope than with the naked eye. Binoculars are good too. It is about 250 miles high, so all you will see is the light of the sun reflecting off it, but when it does pass overhead in darkness it can be very bright looking. It will pass over any part of the world at various times. There are various sites that will tell you when you can see it where you live. Two of these are listed in the Related Links below.
