Perseid meteor shower 2027 in Pittsburgh: the sky above you

The real sky over Pittsburgh, United States at 13 August 2027, 03:00 local time: 3,019 stars above the horizon, including Vega, Capella, Altair. This is the peak night of the Perseids, the best-loved meteor shower of the northern summer. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.

The Perseids radiant is 48° above the horizon over Pittsburgh at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was below the horizon over Pittsburgh at that moment — a waxing gibbous, 86% lit — so it leaves the sky to the stars, and the poster shows it the way the night really was.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Vega, Capella, Altair, Aldebaran, Fomalhaut, Deneb. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (40.44°) and longitude (-80.00°) of Pittsburgh. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.

Make it an A3 poster — $4.99

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.
