SkyVigil Live
Live observation sessions dedicated to exploring, documenting, and sharing the night sky in real time.
SkyVigil Live is a public observation project dedicated to documenting the sky above us. Each session offers an opportunity to observe, explore, and discuss what appears overhead in real time. Whether tracking familiar objects or investigating something less easily explained, the goal remains the same: to observe carefully, document honestly, and share the experience with others.
