Stargazing from Houston

Houston, in the United States, is in the subtropics, so nights are roughly consistent in length year-round and astronomical darkness arrives quickly after sunset.

Common questions

What planets are visible tonight from Houston?

None of the bright naked-eye planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) rise above 10° tonight from Houston. That's normal — planet visibility cycles roughly every 1–2 months per planet.

What time does the sun set in Houston tonight?

Sunset in Houston tonight is at 19:31. Astronomical twilight (when the sky is fully dark) begins later.

Can I see the ISS from Houston tonight?

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