This has passed
Times are local (GMT+9).
One notification in the late afternoon, only on nights with something worth going out for over Cheongju: 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.
Put Cheongju'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.

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.
🛰️ Also crossing the sky that night
Bright ISS and Starlink passes during the best hours appear about five days before.
The Moon slips fully into Earth's shadow and turns a coppery red.
