Terms of Use

Acceptance

By using AstroLAB, you agree to these terms. AstroLAB is a free, personal, non-commercial project offered as-is to anyone who finds it useful.

Informational & Educational Use

Content is provided for general information, education, and stargazing convenience only. It is not professional, navigational, or safety advice.

No Warranty

Astronomical, space-weather, and mission data may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate, and the site may be unavailable at any time. The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without guarantees of accuracy, uptime, or fitness for a specific purpose. Do not rely on it where accuracy or availability matters.

Safety

Observing the Sun without correct equipment can cause instant, permanent blindness, and motorised telescope mounts can damage equipment or injure people. You are responsible for your own safety and equipment. See the safety notes on the Help & About page.

Third-Party Content

Much of the data here comes from third parties — space agencies, research institutions, and open-source projects — each with their own terms, availability, and licensing. They are credited on the Data Sources page, and their rules apply to their content.

External Links

Links may open external sites. We are not responsible for third-party content, policies, or availability.

Acceptable Use

Please use the site as a person with a browser. Don't scrape it in bulk, hammer its data endpoints with automated requests, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or use it in a way that degrades it for others or that would breach the terms of the upstream data providers. This site's feeds are relayed from public science agencies as a courtesy; abusing them here risks that access for everyone. Access may be rate-limited or blocked to keep the site available.

Content & Copyright

Original photography and written summaries on this site belong to its operator. Third-party data, imagery, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners. If you believe something here infringes your copyright or is misattributed, contact us and it will be reviewed and, where warranted, removed or corrected promptly.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AstroLAB and its operator are not liable for losses or damages arising from use of the site or reliance on its data.

Changes

These terms may be updated over time. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised terms.
