When to see the Milky Way in Tallinn, Estonia

Thursday, October 29, 2026 · local time

The Milky Way core is not well placed tonight: it is below 10°, the sky isn't fully dark while it's up, or a bright Moon is in the sky.

Best nights in the coming months

No good Milky Way nights in the period we cover. From Tallinn the core is best seen from about March to October.

Nights per month with at least 20 minutes of good viewing.

We count a night when the galactic centre is at least 10° above the horizon, the sky is fully dark (between astronomical dusk and dawn) and the Moon is below the horizon or less than 25% lit. City lights matter too: see the nearest dark area on the night sky page.
