Bright satellites above your sky.

Computed from orbital elements refreshed daily, with no account and no tracking. Brightness allows for the dimming near the horizon, and a pass that runs into Earth's shadow is flagged.

Magnitude: lower is brighter. Below 0 beats every star; 3 is faint from a town.

Passes start and end 10° above the horizon unless marked.

About these predictions

Why our magnitudes differ from competitors

We apply Bouguer's-law atmospheric extinction (about 0.9 magnitudes lost at 10° altitude, against 0.16 at the zenith) and check Earth's umbra at the pass peak. Standard magnitudes come from McCants's empirical database for ~4,100 objects, with curated overrides for post-2020 satellites and a Lambertian-sphere fallback derived from radar cross-section for the rest.
