Is Tonight Good for Stargazing in Brussels?
Partly cloudy tonight (around 50% cloud), so expect to wait for clear breaks. The Moon is nearly out of the way — dark skies for faint objects.

READING TONIGHT'S SKY…
How dark is the sky over Brussels?
Sky class (estimate)Bortle 8 · City sky
Like most large cities, the centre of Brussels sits high on the Bortle scale (around class 8), so the Milky Way and faint stars are lost to the glow. For dark sky, head well away from the city lights.
Even on the clearest, Moonless night, a bright city sky limits what you can see. For the Milky Way and faint stars from Brussels, you'll need to travel well clear of the city lights.
