Yes, frequently. Bigger satellites like the International Space Station are easy to see; they are very bright and fast-moving. Smaller satellites are, obviously, not so bright and therefore less obvious.
Visit SpaceWeather.com and click on the link to "Satellite Fybys" in the right-hand sidebar. Then enter your location, and it will show you any ISS overflights in the next week or so.

∙ 13y agoFrequently. Go to spaceweather.com and follow the link to "Satellite Flybys" to get a schedule of when some satellites will be visible from your location. The key here is remembering that you can only see an artificial satellite when the satellite is in the sunlight, but it's dark where YOU are. When satellites are in the Earth's shadow, they are quite invisible. So you have the best chance of seeing a satellite in the hour after sunset and the hour before sunrise.

Why was a chimpanzee sent into space in 1961?
To see if it was safe for a human to travel into safe. If the monkey made it, a human might survive space travel. If the ape died, then it was not safe for a human to go into space. The chimp lived, so human beings were sent into outer space.
How far can a lion see?
In complete darkness wherein a human would see absolutely nothing, (as in without any light including without the light of moon and stars), a lion can see 60 meters ahead. In daylight, of course much, much further. A lion's eye vision is six times better than humans, therefore it must see objects six times further than a naked human eye.

Why can artificial satellites be seen in clear night sky?
They have reflective surfaces so lights from the stars and earth are reflected making it seem to give out light. In greater depth: Some satellites, such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle, are big objects with large reflective surfaces. Other satellites are smaller, and not as easily visible. When the satellite is in sunshine, it reflects light like anything else. It's easy to see satellites in the hour after sunset and hour before sunrise. Look for small bright objects moving rapidly in roughly west-to-east directions. It is common for satellites to quickly fade from view as they move from sunlight into the Earth's shadow in the evening, or suddenly appear in the morning going from dark to light. There are several web sites that you can visit to see what satellites ought to be visible from your location; a few are linked in the "Related Links" section below this text. One neat thing to watch for is an "Iridium Flare". The early-model Iridium satellite telephone system deployed a number of very large high-orbit satellites. Iridium satellites have very large solar power arrays, which act like giant mirrors in space. When the Sun's light is reflected from these panels, it is frequently visible as a very bright flash. These flares are only visible for a few seconds, and do not leave a trail like a meteor would.
What are the advantages of using a telescope compared to making observations with unaided eye?
Telescopes can make it easy to see all the way into space, where as the human eye can not see very far at all.
When was Far as Human Eye Could See created?
Far as Human Eye Could See was created in 1987.
What objects can be seen in space from earth because the objects reflect light from another object?
Planets, moons, asteroids, artificial satellites.

How do we see deep into space?
We see deep into space by using optical or radio telescopes, either from the Earth's surface, from satellites orbiting above us, or carried out into space on an unmanned spacecraft.
How does a human eye see?
We see out of the eye because of the light that's hits the eye and the light that we see it sends a signal to the brain and then we can see the picture.
Why do we have to use satellites to veiw objects in space?
We do not HAVE to use satellites. You can look up and see the sun or stars - depending on the time of day - using only your eyes.
What is smallest object human eye can see in special condition?
The smallest object a human eye can see in special condition is 0.116 mm.
What is the function of the pig eye?
A pig's eye functions the same way as a human's eye. The eye can see directly and peripherally. The eye can see in color as well.
What is the use of human eye?
To be able to see.
Can human see ultraviolet light?
No, the human cannot see ultraviolet rays with the naked eye.
Which wave can your eye detect?
If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.
