What planets are visible tonight?

Which planets are visible depends on your date and location. Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn are the four naked-eye planets that are frequently visible; Mercury is visible only in brief windows near sunrise or sunset. Enter your city above and the report will list the planets currently above the horizon after dark.

Can I see the Northern Lights tonight?

Aurora visibility depends on the Kp index and your geomagnetic latitude. At Kp 3, aurora is typically visible only near the Arctic and Antarctic circles. At Kp 5 (a G1 storm), the auroral oval expands south into the northern U.S. and northern Europe. At Kp 7+ it can reach mid-latitudes. The report above compares your latitude to the current auroral boundary in real time.

Is there a meteor shower tonight?

There are around a dozen major meteor showers each year. The report above shows the next active shower and how many days until its peak. For best viewing, look after midnight from a dark location with the shower's radiant above the horizon.

When will the ISS pass over tonight?

The International Space Station passes overhead multiple times per day, but only some passes are visible (bright, after dusk or before dawn, and above the horizon). The report above shows the next visible pass time for your location, computed from live NORAD orbital elements.

What can I see in the sky tonight from Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand?

Tonight from Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand expect a new moon Moon at 0% illumination, with these naked-eye planets above the horizon after dark: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Mars. The night offers about 9.0 hours of true astronomical darkness.

Can I see both northern and southern constellations from Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand?

Yes — this is the real advantage of an equatorial location. At 13.0° N, about 61.3% of the entire celestial sphere rises at some point in the year, so Polaris-side constellations and the Southern Cross region are both reachable across the seasons.

How good is the Milky Way from Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand?

The Galactic Centre culminates around 48° above the horizon from here, high enough to clear most horizon haze. Local cloud and humidity, not geometry, are usually the limiting factor at tropical latitudes.

Are there seasons for stargazing in Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand?

Night length barely changes at this latitude — twilight is short and the Sun sets steeply, so darkness arrives quickly all year. What changes is which part of the sky is on view after sunset, and, in monsoon-affected regions, how often the sky is clear at all.

How dark does it actually get in Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand tonight?

About 9.0 hours of astronomical darkness (Sun more than 18° below the horizon). That is the real observing window for faint objects; brighter targets are workable from dusk onward.

Tonight's sky above Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand

Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.

Local sky character in Bang Lamung

Tropical / equatorial latitudes · northern hemisphere · 7 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 13° above the horizon, so stars within 13° of it never set from here.
About 61.3% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 48° up, clearing the horizon haze comfortably.
The Large Magellanic Cloud only reaches about 7.3° altitude, so it is a low, seasonal target rather than a year-round one.
At 7 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.

Best nights this month in Bang Lamung

Calculated for these coordinates and today's date — not a fixed list.

2026-08-12 — Darkest night of the coming month
The Moon is only 0% illuminated, giving the least lunar interference in the next 30 nights — the best window for the Milky Way and faint deep-sky targets from Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand.
2026-08-12 — Perseids peak — up to 100/hour
Radiant in Perseus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Bang Lamung, Chon Buri, Thailand. The Moon is 2% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is none.
2026-08-27 — Full Moon
A 100%-lit Moon washes out faint objects, but lunar terrain along the limb is at its most striking — plan bright targets and planets instead of deep sky.
