What In-The-Sky.org actually is

Dominic Ford's site lists what is happening in the sky above a location you set, covering conjunctions, meteor showers, satellite passes, eclipses and lunar phases. Every event links through to a chart and a plain explanation of the geometry producing it.

Why it is worth your time

The event list is filtered to your own latitude, so it never teases you with an eclipse only visible from the far side of the planet.
