    Questions about transits in Toronto

    When is the next ISS transit in Toronto?

    The next good transit near Toronto is the ISS crossing the Sun on Sat 10 Oct at 15:29:03.7 GMT-4 (19:29:03.7 UTC). Its centreline passes 34 km NE of central Toronto, and the strip is 15 km wide. It is 30° up in the SW and the crossing lasts 1.01 s.

    Do I need to travel to see one from Toronto?

    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 34 km from central Toronto, so the strip's edge is 26 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.
