Magnitude is an estimate (lower = brighter; 3 is easy, 5 needs a dark sky). Predictions for satellites that are still raising their orbits can shift by a few minutes from one update to the next; check again before you go out. How we compute this.

Seeing Starlink from Nassau

Nassau is at 25.1°N. Tonight the sky is dark enough from 7:13 pm until 6:41 am. A Starlink satellite only shows when it is still in sunlight while you are in darkness, so the passes bunch up in the first hours after dusk and the last hours before dawn, not around midnight. Over the next 8 nights we found 18 visible passes (18 in the evening, 0 before dawn); 15 of them should be easy to spot (estimated magnitude 4 or brighter).

The best one is on Sunday 11 Oct at 7:09 pm: it appears in the east, climbs to 73° in the east-southeast and fades in the east-northeast at about magnitude 2.

The nearest city on our list with a good Starlink pass tonight is Spanish Town, about 787 km away, at 6:13 pm local time. Passes shift a long way over that distance, so use its times only as a rough guide.

The passes come from these launches:

Satellites from launch 2026-219 (20 September 2026) are also low and bright, but they do not pass over Nassau while it is dark and they are sunlit in this period.

No visible pass of the International Space Station tonight. Next chance: Friday 9 Oct at 6:30 am, looking southeast. The space station is far brighter than Starlink satellites, so it is often the easier thing to spot.
