LIVEVisible to the naked eye
When the ISS and Tiangong cross the sky in sight of the naked eye, no instrument needed: a bright dot gliding without blinking, for a few minutes. Worked out by the site with its orbital elements. Paris time; hover over a time for UTC.
Tonight
At 19:00, Tiangong (CSS) appears in the south-west (10°), is highest at 19:02, 14° up in the south, and leaves sight at 19:04 in the south (10°).
