The station, this second.

The map is equirectangular: longitude runs 0–360° left to right, latitude 90°N at the top to 90°S at the bottom. The dark region is night — it moves west by 15° every hour as the Earth turns.

The dashed green line is the recent ground track. Because each orbit is inclined about 51.6° to the equator, the station traces a wave that shifts westward every pass.

Want to see it with your own eyes? A bright pass needs the station to be sunlit while your sky is dark — usually shortly after sunset or before sunrise.
