Observations of night
Observations of night involve studying the Earth's atmosphere and celestial objects during nighttime. This includes noting the position, brightness, and movement of stars, planets, the Moon, and other phenomena like meteors or auroras. By observing these features over time, astronomers can understand the Earth's rotation, the behavior of celestial bodies, and atmospheric conditions such as cloud cover or light pollution. Night observations are essential for scientific research, navigation, and understanding the universe, providing insights into both our planet and the cosmos beyond.
