SKY · STARGAZING · PERU
Is Tonight Good for Stargazing in Lima?
Clear skies tonight (about 6% cloud) — but a bright Moon (83% 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.
