Tiangong passes over Kuala Lumpur
No pass over Kuala Lumpur clears 5° in the next seven days. That is normal: the station must be above the horizon, in sunlight, and your sky dark enough at the same moment. The page rebuilds daily.

Visible Tiangong passes over Kuala Lumpur in the next seven days
No visible pass clearing 5° in the coming week. The live tracker shows where the station is right now.
All times local, 24-hour clock. Only passes with the Sun at least 6° below the horizon and the station itself sunlit are listed — the ones you can actually see.
Why Tiangong is a good target from Kuala Lumpur
Tiangong's orbit is inclined 41.47°, so its ground track never reaches further north than 41.5° latitude. Kuala Lumpur sits close to that band, which is why the station regularly climbs to 70–90° here instead of skimming the horizon the way it does from northern Europe. A near-overhead pass is not brighter, but it is longer, crosses the whole sky, and is far harder to miss behind a building or a tree.
At around 100 tonnes it is roughly a quarter of the ISS mass, and peaks at magnitude 0 to +1 rather than −4: a steady, unblinking point, dimmer than the ISS but unmistakable once you know where to look.
How the times are calculated
Every number comes from the current two-line element set, propagated with SGP4 and converted to the local horizon with a full topocentric correction. The element set used here is from 01 November 2026, 00:08 UTC. A TLE stays accurate for a few days; reboosts shift the times by seconds, so check the live tracker on the day itself.

Questions
Can I see Tiangong from Kuala Lumpur tonight?
Not in the next seven days, according to the current orbit.
Is it brighter than the ISS?
No. The ISS reaches −4; Tiangong is about 0 to +1. What Tiangong has from China is altitude: more passes, higher in the sky.
Do I need binoculars?
No. Tiangong is a naked-eye object on any pass above ~30°; binoculars only make the dot slightly larger.
