Martin Monaghan filmed the International Space Station (ISS) fly over Dennistoun two nights in a row on his Iphone 14.

The 54-year-old, who lives in Carntyne, grabbed the time lapse as the NASA craft darted across the sky between 8pm and 10pm on Tuesday and last night.

Martin explained how it can be tricky to spot the ISS in the city, but that it is predicted to appear again tonight at 8.29pm – for just five minutes.

He said: “It feels surreal to catch the International Space Station flying over Glasgow, it is incredible to see.

“I took a timelapse on my phone two nights ago and last night, I am hoping to catch it again tonight because it will be visible again.

“It is hard to see in Glasgow because it is normally very cloudy so to get a clear starry night is special.

“I shared the video so other people can enjoy the moment, but I want to let people know it will be back tonight at 8.29 so they can see for themselves.”

The ISS is a large space station that orbits Earth and is home to an international crew of astronauts.

We previously reported how two seasoned pilots have been stuck at the International Space Station since the beginning of June.

Nasa decided it is too risky to bring the two astronauts back to Earth and they will have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX.

What should have been a week-long test flight for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will now last more than eight months.

A cascade of vexing thruster failures and helium leaks in the new capsule marred their trip to the space station, and they ended up in a holding pattern as engineers conducted tests and debated what to do about the trip back.

Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams will come back in a SpaceX spacecraft in February.
