Viewing from Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur lies near the equator at 3.1° latitude, where the ISS crosses on steep, fast tracks and can pass close to straight overhead. Twilight is short in the tropics, so the visible window after sunset or before sunrise is brief — be outside a few minutes before the pass starts.
How to read the pass times
Each pass shows its start time in Kuala Lumpur local time, the compass direction it travels (for example W→SE means it rises in the west and sets in the southeast), how high it climbs, and its brightness. The higher and brighter the pass, the easier it is to spot — anything rated bright or better is obvious to the naked eye, even from a city. New to this?
