When can I spot the Chinese Space Station?

Observing of the Chinese Space Station

The Chinese Space Station Tiangong can be spotted with the naked eye. Due to its smaller size, however, it is fainter than the ISS.

The best time to observe Tiangong is when it is nighttime at your location, and the Space Station is sunlit. Often, such a viewing situation occurs in the morning before sunrise, or in the evening after sunset.
