    Questions about transits in Delhi

    When is the next ISS transit in Delhi?

    The next good transit near Delhi is the Envisat crossing the Sun on Sat 10 Oct at 14:40:55.4 GMT+5:30 (09:10:55.4 UTC). Its centreline passes 74 km E of central Delhi, and the strip is 16 km wide. It is 38° up in the SW and the crossing lasts 1.49 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Delhi?

    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 74 km from central Delhi, so the strip's edge is 66 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.
