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 Pembroke Pines

Pembroke Pines is at 26.0°N. Tonight the sky is dark enough from 7:25 pm until 6:53 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 20 visible passes (20 in the evening, 0 before dawn); 14 of them should be easy to spot (estimated magnitude 4 or brighter).

The best one is on Sunday, Oct 11 at 7:42 pm: it appears in the west-southwest, climbs to 80° in the west and fades in the east-northeast at about magnitude 2.5.

The nearest city on our list with a good Starlink pass tonight is Spanish Town, about 952 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 Pembroke Pines while it is dark and they are sunlit in this period.
