About
The night sky, live, from anywhere on Earth
The stars around the globe are not a picture: they are the real sky for this moment, turning with the Earth. The constellations with their figures and names, the planets where they are tonight, the Milky Way, star clusters and nebulae of the Messier catalogue.
Stand on the surface and the globe becomes a planetarium — the sky over the place you stand on, as you would see it on a clear night. Zoom in like a telescope to see Jupiter's moons or Saturn's rings.
The evening panel tells what will be worth looking at tonight from your place: which planets are up, the ISS passes, a meteor shower, an eclipse.
Questions people ask
- Can I see the sky of another date?
- Yes: type a date into the search, and the sky moves to that day — an eclipse, for instance.
