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.

The ISS tonight

ISS pass times for Mathura →

No visible pass of the International Space Station tonight. Next chance: Sunday 11 Oct at 5:11 am, looking southeast. The space station is far brighter than Starlink satellites, so it is often the easier thing to spot.

Tiangong, China's space station

5 visible passes in 8 nights

No visible pass of Tiangong over Mathura tonight. Next: Monday 12 Oct at 5:30 am. It orbits about 386 km up, tilted 41.5° to the equator, and looks like a bright, steady star gliding across the sky.

Local time. Brightness is a rough estimate (±1 magnitude; lower is brighter). How we compute this.

Seeing Starlink from Mathura

Mathura is at 27.5°N. Tonight the sky is dark enough from 6:23 pm until 5:51 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); 13 of them should be easy to spot (estimated magnitude 4 or brighter).

The best one is on Monday 12 Oct at 6:39 pm: it appears in the west-southwest, climbs to 84° in the east-southeast and fades in the east-northeast at about magnitude 2.5.

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 Mathura while it is dark and they are sunlit in this period.
