New York Star Map Print — Midnight, New Year's Eve 2026

The sky above New York City at the exact minute 2026 turned into 2027.

This is deep winter sky at its best. Orion stands high in the south with Betelgeuse 55° above the horizon, and Sirius — the brightest star in the entire night sky — sits due south at 33°. Capella burns almost overhead at 73°, while Regulus climbs in the east announcing the spring constellations still months away. The Summer Triangle has long since set. The

sun is 72° below the horizon: full, deep midwinter darkness.

Built from real astronomical data.

Every star on this print is placed using its actual catalogued position from the Hipparcos star catalogue, then calculated for the exact date, time and coordinates shown at the bottom of the poster. Star sizes reflect real apparent magnitude, and the constellation lines follow official IAU figures. East appears on the left, as it does on any proper sky chart — because you are looking up, not down.
