The solar system right now: live planet positions and spacecraft

Every planet and our furthest spacecraft, where they really are today, with live distances from Earth, radio delays, missions and the latest news.

Right now Voyager 1 is about 25.8 billion km from Earth and Voyager 2 about 21.6 billion km: the two most distant objects humans have ever made.

What's on the map

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in their real positions today, worked out from NASA JPL's orbital elements, with live distances from Earth and how long a radio signal takes to reach each. The map also shows where our deep-space spacecraft are, from NASA JPL Horizons: Voyager 1 and 2, New Horizons, the James Webb Space Telescope, Parker Solar Probe, Europa Clipper, Psyche, JUICE and Lucy.
