Planet Parade 2025: Can We See All the Planets?
We were curious: How often are all the planets above the horizon at the same time, in a reasonably dark sky?
Our Interactive Night Sky Map simulates the sky above Noatak. The Moon and planets have been enlarged slightly for clarity. On mobile devices, tap to steer the map by pointing your device at the sky. Need some help?

Currently showing previous night. For planet visibility in the coming night, please check again after 12 noon.
