The ISS doesn't emit any light of its own - you see it because sunlight reflects off its enormous solar panels. Enter your city and we'll show you exactly when to look up, where to look, and which passes will be most spectacular.
📱 Mobile feature
Open isstonight.com on your phone for a live compass that points you at the ISS.
Where to look
Turn your phone until the gold arrow points toward the green dot - that's where the station will appear. Watch it arc toward the blue dot at its highest point, then fade out near the red dot.
The dashed line shows the full path across the sky.
