shows you when the International Space Station or some other bright

rarely, the satellite will actually pass in front of (transit) these
bodies. |

The program opens with
the horizon-oriented sky view showing the real-time positions of the
Sun, Moon, and planets for your chosen location. When a search is in
progress, the results box and horizon display show details of each
illuminated day, twilight, or night pass for the selected spacecraft
over the next 5 days. If the sky is bright, the satellite may not be
visible during the pass. Click here for an explanation of the terms used. Warning: Do not attempt to observe the Sun without an appropriately filtered telescope! |
