Every page below recomputes tonight's whole sky (verdict, times, cloud, darkness) for that city's exact coordinates.
How the verdict works
For each night and city we compute where the Moon and planets actually sit in the sky (altitude, rise and set), how bright the Moon is, how dark the city's sky gets, and the hour-by-hour cloud forecast at the exact viewing time, then fuse them into one plain-English verdict. Overcast can never score a Good.
Clear skies and a well-placed target: plan your evening around it.
Worth stepping outside: solid viewing at a sociable hour.
Catchable, with compromises: low altitude, haze or moonlight.
Clouds or geometry spoil it tonight, so save your energy.
Common questions
How is the verdict calculated?
It fuses computed astronomy (altitude, phase, darkness) with the hour-by-hour cloud forecast for your exact location, weighted so overcast skies can never score a Good.
Do I need a telescope?
No. The Moon, the bright planets and ISS passes are all naked-eye objects. Binoculars or a small telescope add detail but are never required.
Which places does FindItInSpace cover?
Tonight pages currently cover 60 major US cities, each computed from that city's exact coordinates and time zone. More locations are coming; the astronomy engine itself works anywhere on Earth.
Is it really free?
Yes, free, ad-free, account-free, no tracking. Built by stargazing parents; there's a single support page if you ever want to chip in.
