The night sky over Caracas

Every sky on this page is computed for Caracas's own coordinates — the stars genuinely above the horizon, how high each one stands, and the moon's real phase and position. Not a stock star field with a place name printed on it.

Computed for October 2, 2026. Local time is estimated from Caracas's longitude rather than a timezone database — accurate to within about an hour almost everywhere.

Print-ready PDF, free, drawn for these exact coordinates. We'll email it to you.

The sky from 11° north

From Caracas the north celestial pole, marked by Polaris, stands 11° above the horizon. Caracas sits close enough to the equator that, given a year, effectively the whole sky comes into view — no constellation is permanently out of reach.

Never sets
Nothing — every constellation Caracas can see also goes down again before morning.
Never rises
Nothing — every constellation rises over Caracas at some point in the year.

Geometric horizon, at 10.51°, -66.91°. A figure counts as circumpolar only when all of it clears the pole distance, and hills, haze and city light will all take more of the sky than this arithmetic does.

Cities that share this sky

What is overhead is fixed by latitude, so these sit under the same band of sky as Caracas — however far away they are.

Close enough that the sky overhead is near enough identical on any given night.

Nights worth naming

Each one opens the free generator with Caracas and that date already set — change either, or keep it and save the picture.

Looking for a different night — a birthday, an anniversary, the day you met? The free generator takes any date and any place, not just the ones listed here. For the moon on its own, which looked the same from everywhere on Earth that night, start from the moon phase calendar.
