Shiny ISS passes, 12-16 October, 2023

Over the subsequent few days
there are a collection
of vibrant ISS passes in
the late night twilight/early night and the early morning. The ISS passes near the a number of vibrant stars. For a number of websites the ISS passes by way of Scorpius (Melbourne very near Antares on the 14th, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Hobart on the fifteenth, Sydney on the thirteenth) or very near Saturn (Brisbane twelfth, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, on the thirteenth, Hobart very shut on the sixteenth).

The next tables are from information offered from Heavens Above.

Significantly spectacular passes are highlighted in yellow, passes coming into the shadow in blue.

When and what you will notice is VERY location dependent, so you must use Heavens Above to get website particular predictions on your location, a small
distinction in location can imply the distinction between the ISS passing
over a star or planet or lacking it fully.

As at all times, begin trying a number of minutes earlier than the go goes to begin to get
your self oriented and your eyes darkish tailored. Be affected person, there could also be
slight variations within the time of the ISS showing because of orbit modifications
not picked up by the predictions. Use the newest prediction for
your website.
