I use an iPhone app called "Sky Guide". It sends me notifications of interesting events, and the app itself has a "Calendar" page with a list of everything upcoming.

Separately, if you are a New York Times subscriber, you can also subscribe to their Space and Astronomy Events calendar feed:

- pfist 4y agoI second this recommendation. Sky Guide is a wonderful app for space enthusiasts. The calendar feed does a great job of surfacing upcoming events, and even provides insights on light pollution and ideal viewing times in your area.
- cpeterso 4y agoI also recommend an iPhone app called "ISS Finder". It will notify you when the International Space Station will be making a visible flyby over you. You can then run outside and watch the ISS glide across the night sky at 17,000 mph. It takes about one minute to cross the sky. I always feel awe seeing that ISS dot, knowing humans can launch other humans into orbit 250 miles above.
- LeoPanthera 4y agoYes, always a fun sight. Sky Guide has ISS notifications as well.
- blowfish721 4y agoThanks for the tip, looks great! Will it notify for possible aurora borealis sightings as well?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoI don't know, I'm afraid I don't live somewhere that can see them.
- StrangeSound 4y agoDoes anyone have an Android recommendation that's similar?
