Greater Toronto Area ISS Passes for the week of November 3rd, 2019
On Saturday, November 9 from 5:58 to 6:04 am EDT, the International Space Station will fly high over the GTA in a very bright pass, exiting Earth’s shadow low in the west-northwestern sky, and then setting in the southeast.
The ISS (International Space Station) is visible gliding silently over the GTA this week. The best passes at (mostly) convenient times are listed below. (Note: The more negative the Mag. number, the brighter. The larger the Alt. number, the higher up it is!) Some passes are high and bright! (Data adapted from www.Heavens-above.com. If you enter your location in their website, you will get a list of them for your location.) All the times are in Eastern Time.
