Seeing the International Space Station pass overhead is a thrilling and easy experience for skywatchers. The ISS is often visible to the naked eye as a bright, fast-moving “star” that glides steadily across the sky, usually lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. The best time to observe the ISS is when it’s dark at your location but the station is still illuminated by the Sun. This typically happens in the early morning before sunrise or in the evening just after sunset, when the ISS shines brightly against the twilight sky. If you are located in the north central Texas (DFW) area you can use the listings in the table below to determine the next opportunity to see the ISS pass over your location. Click on any of the entries below for a ground track map and additional information about that specific pass. Once you have that information all you need is good weather and to step outside at the appropriate time to “spot the station” gliding silently overhead. Happy hunting!
