When will the International Space Station pass over Santa Cruz de Tenerife?

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. Daytime passes in the table are invisible to the eye.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife sits within the ISS's orbital band, so it can pass nearly straight overhead — those 70°+ passes are spectacular.
