SKY · STARGAZING · GERMANY
Is Tonight Good for Stargazing in Berlin?
Clear skies tonight (about 17% cloud) — but a bright Moon (81% lit) will wash out faint stars and the Milky Way tonight.
Worth looking for: A great night for the Moon itself, bright planets and the brightest constellations — save the Milky Way and faint targets for a darker night.
