"Worth looking up" alerts for Dubai

One notification in the late afternoon, only on nights with something worth going out for over Dubai: a very bright ISS pass, a Starlink train, a meteor shower peak, planets together, a supermoon or eclipse, or a bright comet. Only the city is stored, not your location.

Put Dubai's sky in your calendar

Full moons, meteor showers, eclipses and bright ISS passes (with a 10-minute reminder) appear in your calendar and update by themselves.

Jupiter and Mars meet in the morning sky before dawn: two bright lights almost touching.

How to watch

No equipment needed: look for two bright points unusually close together.
Binoculars fit both in one view; a phone on night mode catches them over the horizon.
They stay close for a few days around the date: a cloudy night is not the end.
