A pass is "visible" when the satellite is above 10°, lit by the Sun, and the sky here is at least in civil twilight. Times are local. Objects are the ~160 brightest catalogued satellites plus the space stations; the 25 best passes per night are listed, up to 60 with "show more" (640 fainter or shorter passes are only in the API).

Aurora & space weather

NOAA SWPC · 13:00

Kp 2.0No aurora expected at Guernsey's latitude (needs Kp 5+ for a camera, 7+ by eye)

3-hourly forecast, next 3 days. Guernsey sits at ~52° geomagnetic latitude: a camera can pick up aurora from about Kp 5, the naked eye needs Kp 7+ and a clear northern horizon.

About this data

computed 22 min ago · refreshed hourly

Passes are computed on our own server for St Peter Port (49.4547, -2.535) from CelesTrak orbital elements using the SGP4 propagator (pyorbital), with the illumination test done properly: the satellite must be in sunlight while the observer is in twilight or darkness. Darkness times use the Sun's altitude (−6°, −12°, −18°). Geomagnetic Kp observations and forecasts are from NOAA SWPC; cloud cover from Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0). Brightness is not modelled — a grade-A pass of a rocket body can still be faint, while the ISS is always unmistakable.
