Orionid meteor shower 2026 in Saint Petersburg: the sky above you
The real sky over Saint Petersburg, Russia at 22 October 2026, 04:00 local time: 3,121 stars above the horizon, including Sirius, Vega, Capella. This is the peak night of the Orionids, fast meteors shed by Halley's Comet. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.
The Orionids radiant is 44° above the horizon over Saint Petersburg at that moment — the poster marks it.
The Moon was below the horizon over Saint Petersburg at that moment — a waxing gibbous, 81% 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: Sirius, Vega, Capella, Rigel, Procyon, Betelgeuse. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (59.94°) and longitude (30.31°) of Saint Petersburg. 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.
