In view from you

Nobody watches COSMOS 2434 (GLONASS) go over, but a receiver still asks whether it is above the horizon. Say where you are and this card answers.

Your position is rounded to about a kilometre and sent only to the Orbinauts API, to find the pass.

No brightness has been published for COSMOS 2434 (GLONASS), so it is not a naked-eye satellite and no city page carries pass times for it. Nothing here estimates one.

Seeing it

There is nothing to go outside for: it is far too high and too faint for the naked eye. What you notice of it is a position fix, and the card above says whether it is above your horizon to give you one.

Summary

Over the Pacific Ocean LIVE

Where is COSMOS 2434 (GLONASS)?

At 8:57:07 PM UTC COSMOS 2434 (GLONASS) was over the Pacific Ocean (26.4° S, 137.1° W), 19,136 km up, moving at 3.95 km/s and in sunlight.

What is COSMOS 2434 (GLONASS)?

A navigation satellite in medium Earth orbit, one of the 22 navigation satellites of the GLONASS constellation.

Can I see COSMOS 2434 (GLONASS)?

No, not with the naked eye: no brightness has been published for COSMOS 2434 (GLONASS), and nothing here estimates one; receivers on the ground use its signals instead, whenever it is above their horizon.
