One-call snapshot of the whole sky for a place and moment: moon phase and illumination, which planets are up and worth looking at, the next eclipse, and (with a location) sun times. Reach for this fir…
The complete solar day for one location: sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, civil, nautical and astronomical twilight boundaries, and explicit polar day/night status at high latitudes. Location …
The Moon at an instant or as a daily series: phase name and angle, illuminated fraction, distance, apparent size, libration, bright limb, and the next quarter phases. A location adds rise/set and alti…
Every new moon, quarter and full moon in a window (or the next few from a date): each with its exact instant, distance, apparent size, supermoon classification under both competing definitions, tradit…
Exact positions for up to 20 bodies at an instant or over a time grid: right ascension and declination in both J2000 and of-date frames, ecliptic longitude and latitude, distance, and, with a location…
Rise, upper transit, set and lower transit for one body at one location, with an explicit status at extreme latitudes (circumpolar, never rises) instead of missing values. Accepts fixed radec targets.…
Solar and lunar eclipses: the next or previous from a date, or all in a range, with type, magnitude, obscuration, Saros series and global geometry. With a location it adds local circumstances, contact…
The genuinely dark, moonless observing window for a night: astronomical night intersected with the Moon being down, ranked across up to 62 nights with a trend. The right tool for "when should I starga…
All eight planets in one call for a date and optional location: constellation, magnitude, apparent size, elongation from the Sun, morning or evening sky, retrograde state with the next station, rise/s…
The apparition cycle of the inferior planets as dated events: inferior and superior conjunctions, greatest eastern and western elongations, peak brightness (a Venus-only event: Mercury's brightness pe…
Resolve a place name to coordinates, region, country, IANA timezone and a stable place_id, or reverse-look-up the nearest places to a lat/lon. Results are GeoNames data (CC BY 4.0); the response carri…
