    Questions about transits in Munich

    When is the next ISS transit in Munich?

    The next good transit near Munich is the ISS crossing the Sun on Sat 10 Oct at 15:16:11.0 CEST (13:16:11.0 UTC). Its centreline passes 156 km SW of central Munich, and the strip is 16 km wide. It is 29° up in the SW and the crossing lasts 1.03 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Munich?

    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 156 km from central Munich, so the strip's edge is 148 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.
