If you look up at some point over the next few months, you may notice an extra star in the sky. It’s not actually a star, or a planet, or a weird asteroid. It’s a satellite, placed there by New Zealand company Rocket Lab.

Rocket Lab has been trying to build a new rocket and bring it to market, and it’s finally ready to start sending stuff into space. Last week, the company successfully pulled off their second test flight, launching a number of small satellites into orbit. Among them is a small sat called the Humanity Star that is meant to be the brightest object in the night sky.

The Humanity Star is a geodesic sphere made of 65 mirror panels. As it orbits, it rotates quickly to reflect sunlight back to Earth. The satellite orbits once every 90 minutes and is visible to anyone on Earth.

In the United States, the best time to see it will be in March, when its orbital path places it directly overhead. If you miss that window, you might still be able to catch a glimpse of the satellite later in the year. Better hurry, though. The Humanity Star will fall back to Earth after nine months.
