Planets visible tonight
None of the bright naked-eye planets (Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn) climb high into a dark sky over Moscow tonight. They drift in and out of view over weeks — check back, or see where they are now on the live map.
The Moon tonight
A modest Moon — bright planets and constellations are fine, faint detail less so.
Aurora outlook
Aurora is unlikely from Moscow tonight: Kp is 1.0, below the roughly Kp 8 needed here. It takes a stronger storm to push the oval this far.
