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

    Questions about transits in Denver

    When is the next ISS transit in Denver?

    The next good transit near Denver is the Envisat crossing the Sun on Mon 12 Oct at 15:17:51.8 GMT-6 (21:17:51.8 UTC). Its centreline passes 104 km E of central Denver, and the strip is 20 km wide. It is 30° up in the SW and the crossing lasts 1.84 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Denver?

    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 104 km from central Denver, so the strip's edge is 94 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.
