Stargazing from Glasgow

Glasgow, in the United Kingdom, is far enough from the equator that summer nights stay dim and twilit, while winter offers long, properly dark skies starting as early as 17:00 local time.

Common questions

What planets are visible tonight from Glasgow?

None of the bright naked-eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) rise above 10ยฐ tonight from Glasgow. That's normal โ€” planet visibility cycles roughly every 1โ€“2 months per planet.

What time does the sun set in Glasgow tonight?

Sunset in Glasgow tonight is at 21:35. Astronomical twilight (when the sky is fully dark) begins later.

Can I see the ISS from Glasgow tonight?

Not tonight โ€” there are no ISS passes above 20ยฐ altitude in your viewing window. Passes happen roughly every 90 minutes when the orbit lines up, so check again tomorrow.
