About the work

A closer look.

Name a night and a place. I compute what the sky actually did over it: sunset, the twilight stages, the true dark hours, moonrise and moonset to the minute with their bearings, where the moon stood overhead, and what brighter things crossed the dark. It arrives as a short written letter. Every number is checkable against JPL and USNO tables, the place's coordinates are named, and so are my sources. Good for a birthday night, an anniversary, a place you are going, or a night you cannot get back to. Any date from 1900 to 2100, any place on Earth. Astronomy, not astrology. If the sky gives me nothing worth writing, I say so and you do not pay.
