Your first Orionids: a no-equipment plan for Tuesday night
Where to sit, when to set the alarm, and why you should leave the telescope at home.
Nightly sky forecasts, an event calendar for your location, and a Friday letter that tells you which nights are worth going outside.
Times adjust to where you are. Observers get a reminder the afternoon before, only when the forecast says the night will be clear.
Up to ~20 an hour before dawn. Face east, give your eyes 20 minutes.
Bright night. Good for the Moon itself, poor for faint targets.
Few meteors, but slow and bright. Any dark hour after 10 PM.
Modest rates, fast streaks. Best after midnight with the Moon down.
Plan your dark-sky drive for the week before or after.
Bright, steady, crossing in minutes. Times in the app.
Calendar runs on Nocturne's own widget, fed by free public ephemeris and weather data. No licensed feed.
Drafted by the news desk each morning, approved by a person before anything publishes.
Where to sit, when to set the alarm, and why you should leave the telescope at home.
Nine numbers that explain why the sky looks different an hour out of town.
The most-reported object, the best photo, and the town with the darkest sky.
One short letter: the weekend's sky, one thing to find, one photo from an Observer. Free.
You're on the list. The next Almanac goes out Friday.
