Accuracy
Calculated sky, real conditions
The Sky Lab calculates where the stars, planets, Moon and Sun are. Whether you can actually see them on a given night depends on the weather.
Calculated for Oman
By default the sky is shown for Muscat (23.588° N, 58.383° E) in Oman time (UTC+4). You can change the date, time and place, including approximate locations for Wahiba Sands, Jabal Akhdar and Jabal Shams.
Real astronomical data
Planet, Moon and Sun positions are computed with astronomy-engine. Stars come from the Extended Hipparcos Compilation (XHIP); constellation lines, boundaries, the Milky Way outline and Messier objects come via d3-celestial.
Calculated ≠ observed
The Sky Lab shows calculated positions only. Actual visibility depends on cloud, dust, moonlight, light pollution and your horizon. Our team reviews the site and conditions before every session.
Moon, planet and Earth pictures are schematic and not to scale. The constellation “Illustration” view is a stylised glow of the real star pattern. Traditional sailing and farming lore is labelled where it is tradition rather than measurement. Software: astronomy-engine (MIT), three.js (MIT), data packaged by d3-celestial (BSD-3-Clause).
See it for real under Oman’s sky
Everything in the Sky Lab can be seen with your own eyes on a guided night with our team and professional telescopes.
