Star Tonight: Stargazing

Should you go outside and look up tonight?

Star Tonight answers with one number. Enter your town and tonight's cloud cover, moon, darkness, light pollution and transparency roll into a score from 0 to 100, a straight answer (YES, MAYBE, NO), and the best hour to be outside.

What you get: • Tonight's verdict, hour by hour through the night (scored until 3am, or all the way to dawn if you're a night owl) • The best window to go out, so you're not standing in the cold at the wrong time • A 7-night outlook to plan the good nights • Moon phase, rise and set, and how much of the night it's up • Meteor shower calendar with peak-night reminders (Perseids, Geminids, Orionids and more) • Aurora watch from NOAA space-weather forecasts • Which planets are up, where to look, and when • A light-pollution setting so a city sky and a dark-sky park get honest scores • Red-light mode to protect your night vision • A share card for the group chat: "YES for stars in Hartford tonight, 84/100"

No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Astronomy is calculated on your phone; weather comes from Apple Weather and space weather from NOAA.
