Visibility depends on darkness, sunlight and clouds.
ISS and bright-satellite positions use current public orbital elements when the satellite feed is available.
Above-horizon passes are geometric predictions; actual naked-eye visibility also depends on satellite illumination,
local darkness, clouds and atmospheric conditions. Eclipse visibility varies by event and location.
