    at: Date
    azimuth: number

    Degrees clockwise from north.

    elevation: number

    The Pass's maximum elevation, in degrees above the horizon.

    magnitude: number | null

    The predicted brightness at this instant, as a magnitude: what the Satellite shows when sunlit is true. Null for a Satellite the field has published no Standard magnitude for, whose brightness nothing here estimates: a stand-in value can land right on the threshold, and a Pass would then be called Visible or not on a guess.

    sunAltitude: number

    The Sun's altitude above the Observer's horizon, in degrees; negative after sunset.

    sunlit: boolean

    Whether the Satellite is in sunlight rather than in the Earth's shadow.
