The Moon's far side isn't always dark. I made a short flight around the Moon in Stargazing Hub, the astronomy app I'm building. Come watch Earth disappear behind the lunar horizon. 🌙

New: Seasonal trends on Light Pollution Map 🌙 See how sky quality changes across all 12 months, switch between SQM and Bortle, and compare each month with the annual average. Lower-confidence estimates stay visible and are clearly marked. Try it: lightpollutionmap.app

Planning the 2026 Perseids? 🌠 The main maximum arrives Aug 12–13 under a near-new Moon. A few days late can still be worthwhile—especially late night to pre-dawn. This StargazingHub chart uses Borrego Springs as a location-based example. Check your location: stargazinghub.com

A dark map is only the first step. For an actual observing night, I check: • agreement between forecast models • Moon brightness and position • hourly conditions • terrain and the local horizon That is why I built Stargazing Hub. What usually cancels your plans first—clouds, Moon, or local light?

Thanks for sharing! The 2025 annual layer is now complete, and the 2012–2025 comparison is useful for seeing how artificial light changes over time.

Has your observing site grown brighter—or darker? Our 2025 light-pollution layer is live, based on the complete annual NOAA VIIRS dataset. Compare 2012–2025 for long-term change. 2025 is the latest completed annual layer; 2026 is an estimate. lightpollutionmap.app

Thank you — that really means a lot. I started building these tools because I wanted a clearer, more practical way to plan observing nights. I’m continuing that work through Stargazing Hub and will be sharing more observing and dark-sky notes here.

With all this light pollution, it's good enough to get a shot

Tell me about it! Can't even see the stars anymore.

Many countries and regions have started establishing more dark sky parks, which at the very least shows that people are becoming aware of the importance of preserving dark skies.
