South is in the middle, east on the left and west on the right, as if you face south. Height above the horizon goes up. The dashed line is the ecliptic, the path the Sun, Moon and planets follow. Hover over any dot to name it.

Positions from JPL Keplerian elements and a simplified lunar theory: rise and set times are good to about 2 minutes for planets and a few minutes for the Moon, slightly later behind hills or buildings. Bright-star positions are J2000 catalogue values. Times assume a flat, clear horizon.
