dark 7:04 pm – 6:57 amMagnitude 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 Grand Junction
Grand Junction is at 39.1°N. Tonight the sky is dark enough from 7:14 pm until 6:50 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 1 visible pass (1 in the evening, 0 before dawn); 0 of them should be easy to spot (estimated magnitude 4 or brighter).
The best one is on Wednesday, Oct 14 at 7:53 pm: it appears in the south-southwest, climbs to 14° in the south and fades in the south at about magnitude 5.
The passes come from these launches:
- 2026-225, launched 28 September 2026 (train, 26 satellites, now 296–316 km up): 1 pass here
Satellites from launch 2026-219 (20 September 2026) are also low and bright, but they do not pass over Grand Junction while it is dark and they are sunlit in this period.
