A BBC Weather video examines whether current conditions could make this the best day of the year for stargazing. It matters because clear, dark skies can improve the chances of seeing stars and other astronomical events, although viewing conditions vary by location.

The item is published under BBC News’ Science & Environment section and is linked to astronomy, stars and eclipses. The supplied text does not include the video’s weather forecast, specific event details or any numerical information, so it is not possible to confirm which areas have the best viewing conditions.
