PLAN YOUR EVENING
What’s in the sky tonight?
Choose an observing location for a calculated snapshot of the Moon and planets. Each report uses the city’s local time.
Find tonight’s sky at my location →Which planets can I see tonight?
The answer changes with your location and the hour. Open a city report below for calculated planet directions, heights above the horizon, and rise and set times. Pick a bright object well above the horizon, then open it in the sky map.
These are observing predictions, not a weather forecast. A planet above the horizon can still be hidden by clouds, buildings or daylight.

What is that bright star?
A bright point may be a star or a planet. Match its direction and height with the map at your actual local time. Brightness alone is not enough to identify it.
