Frequently asked questions

Which planets can I see with the naked eye tonight — or right now?

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are the classic naked-eye planets. Which ones clear your horizon after dusk (or are up right now) depends on the date, hour, and your latitude — check the live feed or Planet Visibility for tonight’s windows.

Why do planet lists change by location?

Rise and set times shift with longitude, and maximum altitude depends on latitude. A planet that is high in Guyana may skim the horizon from farther north or south.
