An astronomy app that identifies stars, planets, constellations, satellites, and sky events for a specific place and time.

Why it surfaced

SkyChart combines real-time sky identification with sunrise and sunset windows, local cloud cover, light-pollution data, and alerts for events such as ISS passes and meteor showers. Its August 2026 observing guide and unusually specific Premium catalogue—41,500 stars and 1,735 deep-sky objects—give the app more substance than a generic stargazing landing page.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
