How visibility works
A Falcon 9 second stage burns at 150-210 km altitude for several minutes after launch. At that height, Earth's curvature still permits line-of-sight from Bermuda — about 1,400-1,600 km away — for a narrow window that depends on trajectory azimuth, lighting, and the weather between you and the horizon.
- 01Trajectory
- We map each mission to a known launch azimuth (northeast for ISS and Starlink, east for Kuiper, southeast for GTO). That sets where to look.
- 02Lighting
- Twilight is optimal — the sky is dark but the plume is still sunlit at altitude. Night is good. Daylight is hard but not impossible.
- 03Weather
- Cloud cover, humidity, and visibility distance are pulled from Open-Meteo for Bermuda at launch time, then scored.
Built for Bermuda
Times are Atlantic (ADT in summer, AST in winter), including DST rollovers — no “00:00 UTC” mental math. Bearings are from Bermuda, not from Cape Canaveral, so “look east-northeast” means look east-northeast from where you are.
