How to look for satellites
There are over 200,000 man-made satellites orbitting our earth right now! When in doubt, look up and try to spot one. Use the link above to find out when to look, or just look at the sky around sunset or sunrise.
Here are more details, when using the chart on heavens-above.com:
Brightness: The lower the number is the brighter the satellite. -3.5 is very bright whereas -1 is not as bright.
Highest Point: Look at the Degrees, it's best to look for satellites with a higher degree. When looking outside in the sky, raise one fist in front of your face for every 10 degrees, to tell where to look above the horizon. Look for higher degrees so you can see it up higher.
If you just walk outside and try to spot a satellite, you will have the most success at Sunrise or Sunset. (if it's late, the satellite will be in the earth's shadow and you can't see it.) Look at direction NW= North West.
