Satellites visible from Akola (20.7002°N, 77.0082°E) tonight, with the IST start time, direction, peak height and brightness of each pass. A pass is listed only when the satellite clears 10°, is sunlit, your sky is dark and it reaches about magnitude 4.5.
Akola lies on the Morna river in western Vidarbha, about 468 km north-east of Mumbai, amid the region's cotton fields. About 125 km to the south-west, Lonar crater is a near-circular lake left by a meteorite impact in volcanic basalt, a rare reminder of what falls from the sky.
Monsoon rain lasts from mid-June to September, and summers are among the hottest in Maharashtra. November to February give the clearest skies.
The country around Lonar crater, about 125 km south-west, is rural and far darker than the city.
Pass times for Amravati, Nanded.
The ISS is the brightest at magnitude -3 to -4, followed by China's Tiangong station, large Earth-observation satellites, spent rocket bodies and Starlink trains in the days after a launch. GPS and NavIC satellites orbit too high to see with the naked eye.
