Stella brings together astronomy tools, dark-sky places, thoughtful travel, and stories from the field. We want to make it easier for people to step outside, understand what they see, and care about the places that make it possible.
Get to know StellaWe’re bringing together people across software, design, astronomy, editorial research, and community. Useful tools and carefully sourced information guide the work. Explore what’s here, then tell us what you would bring to it.

The Tonight planner brings moonlight, darkness, nearby sky brightness, and cloud forecasts into one place. Clear explanations and accessible interfaces help people make sense of those signals.
Research · Engineering · Editorial
Our places catalog connects observing sites with location facts, darkness information, and official sources. Useful research, careful data, and thoughtful maps make that information easier to use.
Writing & photography · Partnerships · Astronomy
Observatory guides bring public telescope nights, solar observing, and visitor programs together. Clear access details and stories help people find a visit that fits their trip.
