Tonight's sky above Kadriye, Antalya, Turkey

Whether tonight is a good night for stargazing from Kadriye, Antalya, Turkey comes down to four real things: the Moon phase, cloud cover, which planets are up, and the current Kp index.

Local sky character in Kadriye

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 14 m elevation

  • The north celestial pole stands 36.9° above the horizon, so stars within 37° of it never set from here.
  • About 80% 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 24.1° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
  • At 14 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 Kadriye

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

  • 2026-10-21 — Orionids peak — up to 20/hour

    Radiant in Orion. Visible from both hemispheres. The Moon is 72% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is moderate.

  • 2026-10-25 — 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.

  • 2026-11-05 — Taurids peak — up to 5/hour

    Radiant in Taurus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Kadriye, Antalya, Turkey. The Moon is 18% lit on peak night, so lunar interference is low.

  • 2026-11-08 — 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 Kadriye, Antalya, Turkey.
