The table shows nighttime passes of the ISS over your location during the next 5 days, if any. Time is listed for your time zone. Duration indicates the length of each sighting in minutes. Max. Elevation is how high the ISS will get above your horizon (90ð overhead). To see the spacecraft, at a given Time look in the direction indicated by Appearing. You should see a bright, slowly moving "star" (weather permitting). The Disappearing entries indicate where the ISS will be when it vanishes from sight. Sometimes an appearance or disappearance occurs well up in the sky when the spacecraft emerges into sunlight or slips into Earth's shadow, respectively. Listed times should be accurate to within a few minutes; note that reliable calculations are possible only for dates within a week or so of the current date.
