  • Use the darker sky for stars, the Milky Way, and deep-sky targets.
  • Check that the Sun has fully set before using a telescope.

Visibility, honestly

Not visible — lost in the Sun's glare.

A phase is a global instant; whether it is above your horizon depends on location. Weather is not included here. Check the tonight outlook for cloud cover and a viewing score. No eclipse or conjunction claim is made on this page.
