Worth a lookEnterprise night sky · Fri, Oct 16, dark 6:59 PM–5:53 AM PDT

  • Aurora unlikely. Tonight's forecast peaks at Kp 2.0. From here you'd usually need about Kp 9, which takes a rare, extreme storm.
  • Space station passes at 5:12 AM, up to 59° high, moving SW → NE. It looks like a bright, steady star that crosses the sky in a few minutes.
  • Moon 35% lit (Waxing Crescent), above the horizon for 32% of the dark hours.
  • Clouds: about 12% effective cover during dark hours, so mostly clear.
