How to spot it
- Look for a bright, fast “star” that doesn't blink — the ISS outshines everything except the Moon and Venus.
- It moves west to east, crossing the whole sky in 3–6 minutes.
- Evening and pre-dawn passes are the visible ones — the station must be sunlit while your sky is dark. 3 good windows in the next 3 days (marked ★).
- Columbus sits within the ISS's orbital band, so it can pass nearly straight overhead — those 70°+ passes are spectacular.
