HOW IT WORKS
SkyChecker connects to NASA's Horizons Ephemeris System — the same data source used by professional
astronomers — to calculate precise positions for celestial objects based on your exact location and time
zone.
Weather data comes from Open-Meteo, providing real-time cloud cover, visibility, and atmospheric conditions
to help you plan the perfect observing session.
PERFECT FOR
• Casual stargazers curious about tonight's sky
• Amateur astronomers planning observation sessions
• Educators teaching astronomy concepts
• Anyone who's ever looked up and wondered "what's that?"
PRIVACY FOCUSED
Your location stays on your device. We don't track you, collect personal data, or show ads. The only
external connections are to NASA's public astronomical database and Open-Meteo weather service.
Clear skies!
