Worth noticing
The homepage says the forecast covers 6,468 cities across 171 countries and labels its latest worldwide run with an update time.

Field notes

The homepage explains a three-part scoring sequence: identify what is happening overhead, check whether local conditions make it visible, then show a score with reasons. Its examples distinguish events such as aurora activity and a launch in view, rather than presenting a score without context. The displayed worldwide list is labeled with the time of its latest run, so the rankings are presented as changing rather than fixed.
