I appreciate the stars of our night sky, which in the place I live now is pretty spectacular for seeing stars, planets, the Milky Way. But I am really far from expert in knowing what I am, seeing.
This nifty web site, Dark Hours created by Miguel Beher is open source and draws from public data to let you know hour by hour what’s happening in your night sky. It can auto detect your location, or it can find it be entering a place name. It finds the closest named place to me, Archydal Saskatchewan, not even a place anymore (the town there disappeared long ago), and gives me much information about tonight’s sky.
It’s a good night to look for meteors! " The Perseids meteor shower is active tonight. The estimated local rate is ~8 meteors per hour." The potential for seeing the aurora is poor. It tells me hour by hour the visibility.
It puts all the stars and planets visible tonight on a display that can be fully rotated right in the browser.
Give Dark Hours a try for your location, and maybe share what’s in your sky tonight?
