Colloquially referred to as one of the hardest professions, rocket science is actually a common name for spacecraft/space-systems engineering. However, one can also generalize this to include all forms of rocketry, including rockets that are not capable of space travel.

Would an ICBM be visible while travelling towards it’s destination?

From the ground, would an ICBM warhead on terminal approach be visible to the naked eye before it detonated? I'm thinking it would be at reentry speed so would look like a big fireball.
