astro_sky_todayOne-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 first when the question is broad, like "what is in the sky tonight". For solar-day…
astro_sunThe 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 required. For a series, send start and end (step is whole days, e.g. "1d" or "7…
astro_moonThe 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 altitude. For a calendar of new and full moons use astro_moon_phases; for the Moon'…
astro_moon_phasesEvery 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, traditional full-moon name, and any eclipse falling on it. Use for "when is the next…
astro_positionsExact 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, altitude and azimuth with refraction stated per field. With a location the po…
astro_rise_setRise, 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. For the Sun specifically, astro_sun returns richer twilight structure; for pos…
astro_eclipsesSolar and lunar eclipses: the next or previous from a date, or all in a range, with type, magnitude, obscuration, Saros series and global geometry. A solar eclipse also carries a computed hybrid flag and, when central, the duration, path width and Sun altitude at greatest eclips…
astro_dark_windowThe 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 stargaze / photograph the Milky Way / observe deep-sky objects". Location required. F…
observing_windowsIs tonight good for observing here, and when? The clear, dark windows of tonight, and of the next nights the hourly cloud forecast covers, for one place: astronomical night with the Moon down (or up, with moon "any"), under the MET Norway cloud forecast. The windows are the ones…
astro_planet_boardAll 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/set, and a worth-looking-tonight assessment. The right tool for "which planets a…
astro_planet_eventsDated planet events. For Mercury and Venus, the apparition cycle: inferior and superior conjunctions, greatest eastern and western elongations, peak brightness (a Venus-only event: Mercury's brightness peaks behind the Sun where it cannot be seen), and the rare transits across t…
astro_find_placeResolve 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 carries the required credit in its attribution field, which must be preserved when r…
