Meteor Nights answers one question with certainty: is tonight worth going outside to watch meteors? Everything is computed on your device from real astronomy. No server, no accounts, no feeds. TONIGHT, EXPLAINED SIMPLY - Best window: the exact span of tonight when meteors fly highest and the moon interferes least, with a one line reason. - Where to look: a compass direction and how high, like face northeast, halfway up the sky. - A sky map that shows where meteors come from and where the moon sits, drawn for your exact spot. - Honest verdicts: when a shower stays low from your latitude, we tell you plainly. Weak from your location is an answer, not an error. WAKE ALARMS Set one quiet, time sensitive wake alarm at the start of your best window. A gentle bell rings only on nights that deserve it. See and manage all your alarms in one place. WORKS ANYWHERE Use your location once, or just pick your city. Everything still computes, nothing is sent anywhere. METEOR NIGHTS+ (PREMIUM) Upgrade to Meteor Nights+ and unlock: - Year planner: the next 12 months of shower nights ranked for your location, so you can plan trips and clear evenings ahead of time. - Top night pre scheduling: set alarms for the best nights of the year in advance, with evening heads up reminders before each one. - Travel mode: check the sky for any city in the world before you go. - Red night mode: a red on black theme that turns on in the late hours to protect your dark adapted eyes. The honest core answer is always free. Meteor Nights+ adds planning and comfort on top. No meteor counts, no hype. Intensity is only ever a class: strose that is all the sky can promise.
