Sky Reports

Sky Information

This section contains all the information one could ever want about astronomical and meteorological phenomena available through Griffith Observatory and other institutions.

Sky Report

The Sky Report is a three-minute recorded telephone message that gives the latest information on what’s up in the sky. You can hear it 24/7 by dialing (213) 473-0880. There is no charge other than for long-distance fees if you are outside the Los Angeles area. The text of the Sky Report is also available on this web site (see the Sky Report web page for details). The Sky Report is usually updated on Wednesdays.

You might also enjoy Earth & Sky’s “Tonight’s Sky, Astronomy for Kids monthly Sky Calendar with maps, and “The Evening Sky Map.” All are excellent monthly resources
