Naked-eye planets: Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus. Moon: New Moon, 2% illuminated. As of September 9, 2026 (UTC).
Naked-eye planets rise and set on their own schedule. What is up right now depends on your latitude and the hour you step outside.
The live Sky Events feed lists planets that clear the horizon during dark hours. Open Planets Visible Tonight for rise, peak, set, and the compass direction to face. The default snapshot above uses Georgetown, Guyana until you set your own coordinates.
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.
