The sky has
dates to keep.
Eclipses, planets, meteors and lunar cycles: explore events over the next ten years and prepare your next observations.
Times are calculated with Astronomy Engine; dates and methods are referenced below. Meteor showers show a typical annual period, approximate to a few days, to be confirmed closer to the peak. Unpredictable events and new discoveries cannot be announced ten years in advance.

Eclipses, oppositions, elongations, lunar phases, solstices, equinoxes and the transit of Mercury are calculated with Astronomy Engine 2.1.19 by Don Cross, under the MIT licence. The prepared period covers 2026 to 2037; the display selects the next ten years from the browser’s date.
NASA/GSFC pages serve as references and checks. Meteor shower periods are approximate annual guides: the precise peak and activity may vary. The date of Apophis’s passage is a NASA reference, with visibility requiring dedicated ephemerides.
Local visibility is approximate and accounts for event geometry and the theoretical horizon. It does not include weather, obstacles or light pollution. For a solar eclipse, the worldwide maximum and local maximum are distinguished, and the local phase may be only partial. Observing the Sun requires suitable solar protection.
