Access comprehensive astronomical data for any location worldwide using IP addresses, geographic coordinates, or place names. Get precise information about moon phases, sunrise and sunset times, moonrise and moonset schedules, twilight periods (civil, nautical, astronomical), golden and blue hours for photography, sun and moon positions including altitude and azimuth angles, and detailed celestial event timing. Whether you're building weather applications, photography planning tools, prayer time calculators, smart home automation systems, or astronomical reference apps, this API delivers accurate celestial data that helps users plan activities around natural light conditions and lunar cycles.
Query current astronomical conditions or retrieve historical celestial data for any specific date to analyze past events or plan future activities. The API provides detailed twilight information including morning and evening periods with precise timing for astronomical, nautical, and civil twilight phases. Access sun metrics like solar noon, day length, sun distance from Earth, altitude angles for solar panel optimization, and azimuth for navigation. Moon data includes current phase (new moon, full moon, quarters), illumination percentage for night visibility planning, moon distance from Earth, parallactic angles, and precise rise and set times. Perfect for photography apps calculating golden hour timing, smart lighting systems adjusting to natural daylight patterns, agricultural software planning planting schedules, outdoor activity planners checking moon visibility, and astronomical education platforms teaching celestial mechanics with real location-based examples.
