Calculating the sky calendar…

Thank you & sources

Thank you to the International Meteor Organization and timeanddate for publicly available event information, and to Paul Schlyter for the published calculation methods. Moon and planet data are calculated approximately here; Times refer to the selected location and its time zone. Airport reports use UTC. Daily highlights combine selected, date-limited calendar entries with calculated observing candidates. They are not a complete event calendar and do not guarantee visibility. Clouds, moonlight and your local horizon also matter. Stellarium is a useful companion for exploring further.
