Tonight’s ISS conditions
Excellent
Excellent night for ISS spotting
The ISS passes during full night with several hours of darkness and a not-too-bright Moon. If skies are clear, this is a great chance to see it.
Tonight’s sky conditions
Moon: Waning Crescent · 28% illuminated
Astronomical darkness: 2026-01-14 18:20 → 2026-01-15 05:59 (about 699 minutes)
Tip: ISS is easiest to spot during true darkness — plan to be outside in this window.
What to look for tonight
If you’re outside for the ISS — or even if you can’t see it tonight — try spotting:
- Orion
- Taurus
- Pleiades
These constellations are well placed in the night sky this month for this region.
ISS fact of the day
It is the third brightest object in the sky, after the Sun and Moon.
Tip: Go outside a few minutes before the pass time with a clear view of the sky, away from bright lights.
