    Questions about transits in Kuala Lumpur

    When is the next ISS transit in Kuala Lumpur?

    The next good transit near Kuala Lumpur is the Envisat crossing the Sun on Mon 12 Oct at 15:47:58.5 GMT+8 (07:47:58.5 UTC). Its centreline passes 52 km W of central Kuala Lumpur, and the strip is 13 km wide. It is 47° up in the WSW and the crossing lasts 1.24 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Kuala Lumpur?

    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 52 km from central Kuala Lumpur, so the strip's edge is 46 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.
