Where is Peacock?

Times for LondonChange city

Below the horizon from London all the time in Pavo.

Peacock never rises from London: it is too far south in the sky for this latitude.

This is position and timing only: clouds, haze and light pollution aren’t included.

Peacock looks blue-white to the eye. Its spectral type is B2IV: hot blue-white subgiant (much hotter than the Sun).

A blue-white point of light, visible even from many towns when it’s clear.

Brighter, and its blue-white color is easier to see.

Still a point of light: no amateur telescope shows a star’s surface.

What you’re likely to see, not what a space telescope photographs. General guidance from catalog brightness and size, not a forecast for tonight.
