Satellites visible from Vellore (12.9165°N, 79.1325°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.
Vellore lies on the Palar about 125 km west of Chennai, around a 16th-century granite fort ringed by a moat. Rocky hills rise around the city, and its medical college hospital draws patients from across India.
Hot for most of the year, Vellore gets the bulk of its rainfall late in the year, as October and November storms roll in off the Bay. The cooler weeks from December to March give its clearest nights.
The Yelagiri hills, about 85 km south-west at roughly 1,050 m, are a cool, quiet plateau above the plains' haze.
Pass times for Tirupati, Chennai.
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.
