Ireland · Visible passes
From Dublin (53.35° N, 6.26° W) you can see the International Space Station with the naked eye whenever it crosses your night sky while still lit by the Sun, usually in the two hours after sunset or before sunrise.
Dublin lies outside the band the ISS flies over (up to 51.6°), so it never passes straight overhead here, but it is often visible lower in the southern sky. China’s Tiangong station flies no further from the equator than 41.5°, so it is practically never visible from Dublin.
Times in the list are shown in your device’s time zone (Dublin is on Ireland Time).

Calculated live for Dublin every time you open this page.
Pass times change every day and depend on the station’s latest orbit, so this page calculates them live for Dublin when you open it: the list shows every naked-eye pass of the ISS, Tiangong and other bright satellites over the next 10 days, with direction, height, brightness and cloud forecast.
No. The ISS is one of the brightest objects in the night sky and is easy to see with the naked eye, even from a city like Dublin. It looks like a steady, non-blinking star that crosses the sky in a few minutes.
China’s Tiangong station flies no further from the equator than 41.5°, so it is practically never visible from Dublin.
