IF THE weather stays clear tonight, children will be able to see 'Santa Claus' flying across the sky over Gwent in his sleigh.

If you look to the sky in a south-west direction, you should be able to see a light moving across the heavens.

The bright light will in fact be the International Space Station, which is due to pass over the UK between 5.15m and 7pm.

With youngsters likely to be on the lookout for Santa, parents might just choose to point up into the night sky and let them draw their own conclusions.

According to NASA, if the sky is clear, the ISS will be visible over Gwent at 5.22pm for four minutes and again at 6.58 for another minute.
