Skyfield: Sky Tonight

Skyfield answers the question every sky-watcher actually has: what's in the sky tonight, when should I look, and is it even worth going outside?

Open it and get a straight answer for exactly where you are:

IS IT WORTH LOOKING UP TONIGHT?

• A live Stargazing forecast — an honest Excellent / Good / Fair / Poor verdict and 0–100 score, from tonight's real cloud cover and the moon's brightness

• Your best dark-sky window tonight, with real times ("clear and moonless 11:30pm–1am")

• Sky Conditions now — temperature, cloud cover, and what the sky is doing

WHAT'S UP, AND WHEN

• Sunset, golden hour and blue hour — to the minute

• The moon's phase, how lit it is, and tonight's moonrise & moonset

• The next meteor shower peak

• Aurora chance for your latitude, from NOAA's live Kp forecast

• "The Sun's Path" — a live arc of the sun across the day

YOUR AI SKY GUIDE

A new Guide tab reads tonight's real conditions for your location and gives 2–3 short, specific tips: what to look for, the best window to go out, and a sunset/photo tip. It always works — even offline, it falls back to clear, data-based guidance computed on your device. AI is optional and off until you turn it on.

Sky conditions use the free Open-Meteo and NOAA space-weather services; sun, moon and the stargazing forecast are computed on your device and work offline. No account, no sign-up, no tracking.

KEEP WHAT YOU SAW

Log a sunset, the full moon, an aurora, or a passing bird in seconds — with a photo and a note. Your year rolls up into a "Year in the Sky" recap to look back on and share.
