## Common questions about seeing the ISS in Heraklion

### When is the next visible ISS pass over Heraklion?

The forecast on this page lists visible passes for the next 72 hours in Heraklion’s local timezone, including start, peak, end, direction and elevation.

### Can I see the ISS from Heraklion without a telescope?

Yes. During a visible pass it looks like a bright, steady star moving quickly across the sky above Heraklion.

### Why isn’t every overhead pass listed for Heraklion?

A pass is only listed when the ISS is sunlit while the sky over Heraklion is dark enough, and the station is at least 10° above the horizon.

### Does weather affect viewing the ISS from Heraklion?

Yes. Cloud cover in the forecast helps you judge whether the sky will be clear enough during a pass over Heraklion.
