About Pocket Night Sky
Pocket Night Sky is an independent resource covering stargazing for beginners. We publish clear, practical, well-researched guides — the straight answers, without the marketing spin.
How we work
Our guides are built on current, mainstream understanding of the subject and checked against reliable sources. Where a topic is genuinely unsettled, we say so plainly rather than pretending certainty.
Editorial independence
Recommendations are based on evidence and experience, not on who makes a product. Any sponsored or affiliate content will always be clearly labelled.
General astronomy education only. Sky events, access, weather, visibility, and hazards vary by date and location. Check current official local information. Never view the Sun through binoculars, a telescope, camera optics, or another optical device without a correctly installed special-purpose solar filter and expert guidance; ordinary eclipse glasses are not filters for magnifying optics.
Corrections
Spotted something inaccurate or out of date? We would rather fix it than defend it — reach us via the contact page.
