LIVEVisible to the naked eye
When the ISS and Tiangong cross the sky in sight of the naked eye, no instrument needed: a bright dot gliding without blinking, for a few minutes. Worked out by the site with its orbital elements. Paris time; hover over a time for UTC.
Tonight, before dawn
At 04:57, the ISS appears in the south-east (21°), is highest at 04:57, 21° up in the south-east, and leaves sight at 04:58 in the south-east (10°).
