Solar System Now
Where the eight planets actually are right now, calculated live in your browser, plus which of them you can go outside and find tonight from wherever you are.
Your location
Only used locally in your browser to work out sunset, sunrise, and each planet's height above your horizon. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Right now
A top-down view of the solar system from above Earth's north pole. Each planet's angle around the Sun is astronomically accurate; the distance from the Sun uses a compressed scale so the inner planets don't disappear next to Neptune's orbit.
Visible tonight
Ranked by how high each planet climbs above your horizon during your local night. A planet can be technically "up" and still unwatchable if it never clears the murk near the horizon, or if it's sitting too close to the Sun's glare.
