14 of these are hidden on the main finder by its quality filter (too low, a barely lit Moon, or a weak crossing). Times are Bangalore time to a tenth of a second; distances are to the centreline of the strip from central Bangalore.

    Questions about transits in Bangalore

    When is the next ISS transit in Bangalore?

    The next good transit near Bangalore is the Hubble crossing the Sun on Sat 10 Oct at 10:14:17.0 GMT+5:30 (04:44:17.0 UTC). Its centreline passes 114 km NE of central Bangalore, and the strip is 5.2 km wide. It is 56° up in the SE and the crossing lasts 0.84 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Bangalore?

    Usually a short way. The strip where a transit is visible is only a few to around 20 km wide, so it rarely crosses your own street. The next good one passes 114 km from central Bangalore, so the strip's edge is 111 km away.

    Can I see a transit without a telescope?

    The crossing lasts about a second and the station appears tiny, so a telescope or a long lens on a camera is needed to see its shape. Never look at the Sun without a certified ISO 12312-2 solar filter.
