What celestial objects are supported?
Solar system objects (Sun, Moon, planets), named stars (e.g., "sirius"), and deep-space objects (e.g., "andromeda", "orion_nebula").

11Calculate the altitude and azimuth angles of a celestial object.
Calculate the rise and set times of a celestial object.
Get detailed information about the Moon's phase and position.
Get a list of solar system planets currently visible (above horizon).
Get the position (altitude/azimuth) of the center of a constellation.
Get a curated list of best objects to view for the night.
Fetches weather data for a specified location by its name using the QWeather API.
Fetches weather data for a specified location by its geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) using the QWeather API.
Get light pollution data for a specific area. Returns a grid of light pollution data points including brightness, Bortle class, and SQM.
Analyze a geographic area for suitable stargazing locations. This tool searches for dark, accessible locations with good viewing conditions. Results are cached based on search parameters.
Retrieve the current datetime and timezone. Returns: Dict with keys "data", "_meta". "data" contains "current_time" (ISO string).
Overview
What is Mcp Stargazing?
Mcp Stargazing calculates the altitude, azimuth, rise, and set times of celestial objects (Sun, Moon, planets, stars, and deep-space objects) for any location on Earth. It is a Python library designed for astronomers, educators, and anyone needing precise celestial positions.
How to use Mcp Stargazing?
Install dependencies with pip install astropy pytz numpy astroquery. Then use the functions celestial_pos and celestial_rise_set from the src.celestial module, passing an observer location (as an astropy.coordinates.EarthLocation), a timezone-aware datetime, and the celestial object name.
Key features of Mcp Stargazing
- Altitude/azimuth calculation for any celestial object
- Rise/set times with configurable horizon elevation
- Supports solar system objects, stars, and deep-space objects
- Time zone aware – works with local or UTC times
- Returns UTC times for rise and set events
Use cases of Mcp Stargazing
- Plan an evening of stargazing by knowing when planets and stars will be visible
- Compute the Sun’s position for solar panel alignment or photography
- Determine moonrise/moonset for outdoor event planning
- Simulate celestial positions for educational demonstrations
Frequently asked questions
What are the required dependencies?
The package requires `astropy`, `pytz`, `numpy`, and `astroquery`. Install them via pip.
How are rise and set times returned?
`celestial_rise_set` returns two `astropy.time.Time` objects (rise and set) in UTC. You can convert them to local time as needed.
Does Mcp Stargazing support time zones?
Yes. All input times should be timezone-aware datetimes (or an Astropy `Time` object). The outputs are in UTC.
What is horizon in rise/set calculation?
The `horizon` parameter (default 0°) defines the elevation angle above which the object is considered “risen”. Use a negative value for civil twilight, etc.
