Bu Gece Gökyüzü

Bu Gece Gökyüzü ("Tonight's Sky") is an astronomy channel showing what you can see in the sky from Türkiye, when and in which direction: the Moon, planets, stars and constellations, meteor showers, eclipses.

How it is made:
• Planet, Moon and Sun positions: NASA JPL DE421 ephemeris + Skyfield
• Stars and constellation lines: d3-celestial catalog
• Lunar surface: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio
• Calculation and drawing use software written for this channel; location Ankara.
• Every number in a video comes from this calculation. Meteor shower dates are checked against the IMO calendar.
• The images are calculated simulations, not photographs. The music is made for the channel.

Principles: No horoscopes. An event that will not be visible is never shown as visible; no exaggerated titles.

Schedule: Short videos at 18:00 (Türkiye time), a long sky guide every month. Videos are in Turkish.

Run by Burhan Emeç from Çorlu, Türkiye.
