Tonight's outlook
The next 24 hours, without the guesswork
A deterministic viewing score, a recommended window, and the weather that could change the plan. All times are local to Tromsø.
Viewing score
Cloud-weighted, per hour
No score
The Moon is not above the horizon in the next 24 hours.
Not a scientific measurement. The index favours a Moon that is easy to see, not necessarily the sharpest surface detail.
Best time to look
Best contiguous window in the next 24 hours
No qualifying window
No viewing window in the next 24 hours
A window requires at least two consecutive hours with a score of 50 or better and the Moon above the horizon.

Why this recommendation
- Waxing Crescent at 3% illumination. Only a slim crescent is lit; look soon after sunset or before sunrise, close to the horizon.
- The Moon does not rise above the horizon during the next 24 hours at this location.
- No moonrise is predicted within the next 48 hours — a polar condition is possible.
Limitations & methodShowHide
- The viewing score is a convenience index, not a scientific measurement of sky quality.
- The Moon disc on this page is phase-correct but its orientation and surface detail are schematic; libration and parallactic angle are not modelled.
Local context
Moonwatching from Tromsø
At 69.6° N, this is a polar location. The Moon may stay above or below the horizon for more than a day, and the app will say so rather than invent a rise time. The disc is shown in northern-hemisphere orientation with a NASA LRO surface.
All times on this page use the IANA time zone Europe/Oslo, including daylight-saving changes. The weather forecast is for coordinates 69.65°, 18.96°. It can differ across a large metropolitan area.
