A 5-minute look at tonight's sky

SkyMinute is a daily ritual web app for people who want to step outside and look up — without learning constellations or buying a telescope. Pick your city or share your location, and we'll tell you the single best moment tonight to walk out, where to look, and what you'll see. Visible planets, the Moon's phase, International Space Station passes, active meteor showers, and aurora odds — all calculated for your exact location and combined with real-time cloud forecasts from Open-Meteo.

What SkyMinute shows you

• The best 5-minute window tonight — picked from your local astronomical twilight and the clearest hour.
• Visible planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with their direction and altitude.
• The Moon — current phase, rise and set times.
• ISS passes — when the International Space Station crosses overhead.
• Meteor showers — active radiants and peak nights from the IMO calendar.
• Aurora chance — current Kp index from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Made for normal people, not astronomers

Existing sky tools are either built for experts or generic monthly listicles. SkyMinute is the opposite: a local, daily, plain-language nudge to go outside for five minutes. No accounts. No tracking. No app to install.
