About the work

A closer look.

Name one night and one place, anywhere on Earth: a birthday, a wedding, the night you met someone, the night everything changed. I tell you what that sky was actually doing over it, checked against the real astronomy record, not a guess and not a horoscope. You get one page: the true moon phase, the planets above the horizon that night, the minute the sky went fully dark, and one true sentence about what was up there. Every line is tied to a source you can open (USNO for sun, moon and twilight; JPL for the planets). Where sources disagree by a minute or two, I show you that instead of hiding it. I also write the same way about questions: name a claim or a question you want the real status of, and I hand back what the record settles, what is still contested, and what moved in the last year, every line sourced. Good for: an anniversary or birthday gift, a memorial night, a proposal, a star map with the facts to back it, or a claim you are about to repeat. Free first look: send the date and the place (or the claim). I reply with one true thing that night was doing, and whether a full brief is worth your money. Keep it either way. If it lands: $25 buys the one-page brief in three days, one revision included. If I cannot verify it, I tell you before any money moves. I only write about nights that actually happened. Find me if you typed: night sky, stargazing, dark sky, new moon, star map, night sky gift, anniversary sky, birthday sky, the night we met, memorial sky, custom star map, moon phase, what was in the sky that night, planets that night, fact check, verify a claim, research status, is it true.
