Stargazing from Ottawa
Ottawa, in Canada, is high enough that summer nights never get fully astronomically dark, but in autumn and winter you get genuine darkness from about 21:30 until dawn.
Common questions
What planets are visible tonight from Ottawa?
None of the bright naked-eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) rise above 10° tonight from Ottawa. That's normal — planet visibility cycles roughly every 1–2 months per planet.
What time does the sun set in Ottawa tonight?
Sunset in Ottawa tonight is at 20:37. Astronomical twilight (when the sky is fully dark) begins later.
