A quiet heads-up

A parent or guardian must manage the registration and give consent. Carrier message charges may apply.

Where is Santa?
Our Sleigh Tracker brings the tradition of looking for Santa into a real skywatching activity throughout the year. Imagine the reindeer flying over the rooftops, while learning that the moving light you may actually see is the International Space Station. We do not show Santa leaving the North Pole or a live Christmas Eve delivery route.
Santa Tracker FAQs
No. These are predicted ISS visible passes, presented as a Santa-themed activity, not literal Santa positions.
The ISS needs to be sunlit while your sky is dark enough. We show a ten-day forecast with at least 120 seconds of predicted visibility; there may be no eligible passes.
We submit verified alerts 15–60 minutes before an upcoming local pass. Providers can delay delivery. We do not resend the same pass daily.
