Viewing Tips for Spanish Fork

Best Time to Watch

Check for passes during the first 2 hours after sunset or before sunrise. This is when satellites catch sunlight against a dark sky.

What to Look For

Satellites look like steady, bright stars moving smoothly across the sky. They don't blink like airplanes.
