SOURCES

Sources we use

View From Sky separates search-intent evidence from factual source records. Search demand can suggest a topic, but factual claims must come from reviewed astronomy or forecast data sources.

Astronomy sources

NASA Science skywatching and meteor resources
International Meteor Organization meteor shower calendar records
Stable astronomy reference topics for definitions and background

Forecast and tool data

Open-Meteo geocoding and forecast endpoints for city lookup, cloud cover and surface visibility
Local astronomical twilight calculations based on latitude, longitude and date
Moon phase calculation based on the synodic month

Important limits

Forecasts and astronomical calculations help planning, but local lights, blocked horizons, smoke, haze, clouds and safety conditions can override any score.
