## Common questions about seeing the ISS in Date

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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