The night sky over Edinburgh tonight
The real sky over Edinburgh, United Kingdom at 24 October 2026, 21:00 local time: 3,001 stars above the horizon, including Vega, Capella, Altair. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.
The Moon was up over Edinburgh at that moment: a waxing gibbous, 98% lit, 33° above the horizon toward the south-east — the poster draws it where it really stood.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Vega, Capella, Altair, Aldebaran, Deneb, Elnath. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (55.95°) and longitude (-3.19°) of Edinburgh. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.
Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
Preview free, one-off payment, no account. Change the place and the line of text on the poster page, or see which moment to pick for a birth, a wedding or an anniversary.
