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

🌑 Find a dark sky
City light hides most of the show. Drive until the sky looks clearly darker (often 30–60 minutes out), away from streetlights, with an open view.

Shooting stars streak across the sky: up to about 15 an hour from a dark place, fewer this year in bright moonlight.
How to watch
- Find a dark place away from city lights and give your eyes 20 minutes to adjust.
