Yes, if you know just where to look. You can see it with the naked eye. Go to spaceweather.com and click the "Satellite Flybys" link. Enter your ZIP code (in the USA) or enter your location to see a list of the visible objects.
Low-altitude satellites are visible only when the Sun has set at your location, but the satellite is still in the light; that is, shortly after sunset or before sunrise.

What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is the name of the orbiting space telescope launched in 1990?
The Hubble space telescope.The name of the telescope launched into space in 1990 is Hubble Space Telescope.
What is the height of the Hubble telescope?
The Hubble space telescope is in near Earth orbit at a orbital height of 559 km (347 miles)
Who was the hubble space telescope launched by?
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit by NASA's space shuttle Discovery on STS-31 on April 24, 1990.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescope you are?
The Hubble telescope is in space so it doesn't have a problem with atmospheric distortion. Therefore The Hubble telescope get's a much clearer picture than any normal land telescope which gets a less clear a picture because of water vapour and diffraction of light.
Telescopes that begin with the letter Hub?
I'm not aware of any telescopes that begin with the letter "Hub." Telescopes often have names like Hubble, which is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble, or Hubbell, which may be a variation or misspelling of the Hubble Space Telescope.
What do hubble telescope and galileo's telescope have in common?
they're both reflecting telescopes
Where are telescopes found?
Optical telescopes are found through out the world. They have even been taken to space as in the Hubble Telescope. The Optical telescope is the main telescope used by amateur astronomers. They are used in Gardens through out the world. Professional optical telescopes are generally placed on the very top of mountings. This is to reduce the amount of distortion caused by the atmosphere. The Keck observatory for example is at an altitude of 4.2 km atop the summit of Mauna Kea on Hawaii.
Why Hubble Telescope take pictures better than telescopes in observation?
Since the Hubble Telescope is in space, it avoids interference from the atmosphere.
What is the name of NASA's most famous telescopes?
NASA's most famous telescope is probably the Hubble Telescope that orbits the earth.
What makes the hubble telescope different from all the land based telescopes you have?
The Hubble telescope is different from land based telescopes in that being in space it does not suffer atmospheric distortion, thus clearer pictures.
What makes The Hubble Space Telescope different from other telescopes?
The main difference between Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes is the fact that the Hubble is placed in outer space where it can observe without the distortion of the Earth's atmosphere.
Which of the following is not an advantage the Hubble Space Telescope has over ground based telescopes?
The Hubble Space Telescope is not affected by atmospheric distortion, providing clearer images than ground-based telescopes. Ground-based telescopes have the advantage of being easier to upgrade and maintain than a space-based telescope like the Hubble.
How do astronomers know what lies the outer planets?
Telescopes : e.g. The Hubble Telescope .
What is better Reflecting or refracting telescopes?
The most serious astronomical research, such as that done by the Hubble Space Telescope, is done with reflecting telescopes.
Is it true that the clearest images of objects in deep space are produced by a telescope in space?
Yes, telescopes in space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, are able to capture extremely clear images of objects in deep space. These telescopes are not affected by the distortion caused by Earth's atmosphere, resulting in sharper and more detailed images compared to ground-based telescopes.
Why was the Hubble Telescope Founded?
The Hubble Space Telescope was developed (not "founded") because ground-based telescopes are limited because of atmospheric distortions, while a space telescope isn't affected by glare, clouds, rain, or weather.
