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 Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland?

Tonight from Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland 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 Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland?

Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland sits at 64.8° 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 Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland?

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 in mid-summer that window can close entirely at this latitude.

Do I need to leave Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland to see the aurora?

Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland 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 Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland tonight?

Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland 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 Tyrnaevae

Northern high latitudes · northern hemisphere · 20 m elevation

The north celestial pole stands 64.8° above the horizon, so stars within 65° of it never set from here.
About 95.2% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
The Galactic Centre never rises from this latitude, so the brightest stretch of the Milky Way stays permanently below the horizon.
At 20 m elevation, roughly 0% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
Above 65° the observing year is strongly seasonal: mid-summer nights may never reach astronomical darkness, while mid-winter delivers very long dark windows.

Best nights this month in Tyrnaevae

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 Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland.
2026-08-12 — Perseids peak — up to 100/hour
Radiant in Perseus. Favours the Northern Hemisphere, which includes Tyrnaevae, North Ostrobothnia, Finland. 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.
