Marine Day, the third Monday of July, gives thanks for the ocean's blessings and hopes for the prosperity of Japan, a nation of islands. It began in 1996 on July 20, the day Emperor Meiji came home from a voyage by sea in 1876.

The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.

Stays near its best for several nights, not just one.

The bright center of the Milky Way: when it is above the horizon with the sky fully dark and the Moon set, brought down for how dark the sky is here (estimated from the towns around by Walker's law) and for cloud where the forecast reaches.
