The night sky over Toulouse
Every sky on this page is computed for Toulouse'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 Toulouse's longitude rather than a timezone database — accurate to within about an hour almost everywhere.
The sky from 44° north
From Toulouse the north celestial pole, marked by Polaris, stands 44° above the horizon. Over a year 86% of the celestial sphere clears that horizon; the rest never does, at any hour or season.
- Never sets
- Draco, Cepheus, Camelopardalis, Ursa Minor, and Cassiopeia circle the pole all night, every night of the year.
- Never rises
- Pavo, Dorado, Ara, Musca, Tucana, Volans, and 11 more stay below Toulouse's horizon permanently.
Geometric horizon, at 43.60°, 1.44°. 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
Circumpolar stars are fixed by latitude alone, so these see the same constellations never set as Toulouse does — however far away they are.
Nights worth naming
Each one opens the free generator with Toulouse 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.
