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 Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece?

Tonight from Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece 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 6.6 hours of true astronomical darkness.

Does Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece's elevation help stargazing?

At 30 m you are above a meaningful fraction of the atmosphere, which reduces extinction and scintillation — the reason major observatories are sited high. Rozhen Observatory sits about 149 km from Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece at 1759 m.

What should I plan for observing near Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece?

High sites reward targets that suffer most from atmosphere: planets at high altitude, faint nebulae, and the Milky Way, which culminates around 20.1° here. Cold and thinner air are the practical constraints, not the sky.

How dark does it actually get in Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece tonight?

About 6.6 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.

Above Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece tonight (40.89°, 26.17°), expect a new moon moon at 0% illumination. The night gives 6.6 hours of true astronomical darkness. At 40.9°, aurora needs a strong storm — roughly Kp 8.7 or higher — to reach Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece.

Local sky character in Feres

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 30 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 40.9° above the horizon, so stars within 41° of it never set from here.
About 82.7% 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 20.1° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
At 30 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 Feres

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 Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece.
2026-08-12 — Perseids peak — up to 100/hour
Radiant in Perseus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Feres, East Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. 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.
