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 Singapore time to a tenth of a second; distances are to the centreline of the strip from central Singapore.

    Questions about transits in Singapore

    When is the next ISS transit in Singapore?

    The next good transit near Singapore is the ISS crossing the Sun on Thu 15 Oct at 16:05:56.5 GMT+8 (08:05:56.5 UTC). Its centreline passes 15 km SW of central Singapore, and the strip is 8.6 km wide. It is 40° up in the WSW and the crossing lasts 0.83 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Singapore?

    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 15 km from central Singapore, so the strip's edge is 11 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.
