How to spot it

  • Look for a steady, bright point of light gliding across the sky: no blinking, no colors.
  • It appears in the first direction and fades or sets toward the second; the higher the max height, the brighter it gets.
  • Passes only happen in the hours after sunset or before sunrise, when your sky is dark but the satellite is still in sunlight.
  • Predictions can shift by a minute or two; get outside a few minutes early.
