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 Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia?

Tonight from Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia expect a new moon Moon at 0% illumination, with these naked-eye planets above the horizon after dark: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, Mars. At this latitude the Sun may not drop 18° below the horizon tonight, so full astronomical darkness is not reached.

How likely are the northern lights in Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia?

Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia sits at 58.1° N, inside the latitude range the auroral oval reaches on ordinary active nights — the oval sits near 58° geomagnetic latitude at Kp 3. That means aurora is a realistic prospect here whenever geomagnetic activity lifts above the quiet baseline, not only during major storms.

What time of night is best for aurora watching in Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia?

Auroral substorms cluster around local magnetic midnight, so the hours either side of midnight are statistically strongest. You also need real darkness: this page's dusk and dawn times mark the usable window, and the window is longest around the winter months.

Do I need to leave Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia to see the aurora?

Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia is small enough that local sky glow is not the limiting factor; a clear view toward the northern horizon and clear weather matter more.

How dark does it actually get in Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia tonight?

Novyye Lyady, Perm Krai, Russia is far enough from the equator that at this time of year the Sun stays above −18°, so astronomical darkness is not reached tonight — a normal feature of high-latitude summers, not a data error.

Local sky character in Novyye Lyady

Northern mid-latitudes · northern hemisphere · 175 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 58.1° above the horizon, so stars within 58° of it never set from here.
About 92.4% 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 2.9° up, staying low, so a clear southern horizon matters.
At 175 m elevation, roughly 2% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
