The station outshines every star as it crosses the twilight sky.

The International Space Station rises in the northwest and climbs to 62° — nearly two-thirds of the way to overhead — before slipping into Earth’s shadow. At magnitude -3.8 it will be the brightest moving object in the sky: a steady, silent point of light with no blinking lights, crossing the whole sky in about six minutes.
Field notes
- 01Face northwest a few minutes early — the station appears right on schedule.
- 02No telescope needed; a pass this bright is unmistakable to the naked eye.
- 03It fades suddenly when it enters Earth’s shadow, not when it lands — that’s normal.
