Field notes
Visitors can start with their location or choose from a directory that the page says covers 1,562 cities. The identification guide uses practical sky-watching clues: stars twinkle, planets hold steady, and satellites move across the sky in minutes. Separate sections describe when planets appear and give the Moon’s current phase and dates for upcoming phases; the page says its positions are calculated.
