    Questions about transits in Jakarta

    When is the next ISS transit in Jakarta?

    The next good transit near Jakarta is the Tiangong crossing the Sun on Mon 12 Oct at 08:52:35.5 GMT+7 (01:52:35.5 UTC). Its centreline passes 65 km NE of central Jakarta, and the strip is 5.4 km wide. It is 49° up in the E and the crossing lasts 0.74 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Jakarta?

    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 65 km from central Jakarta, so the strip's edge is 62 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.
