skypeek: Get a recent satellite image of a place or coordinates. Returns a recent satellite picture of a place as a base64 PNG, with the capture date, cloud cover, source and attribution: the least cloudy recent Sentinel-2 L2A scene at 10 m per pixel as true colour, NDVI (vegetation) or NDWI (water), clouds painted grey in the index views; NASA GIBS true colour (about 250 m) for areas wider than 10 km or when Sentinel-2 has no scene. Input: `lat` and `lon`, or `place`; optional `date`, `max_cloud`, `view`, `size` and `radius_m`. Not real time (`date` is the scene day); clouds can hide the ground (404 too_cloudy, no_scene, no_imagery: not charged). Sentinel-2 data is free to use with credit; NASA GIBS has no restrictions. Not for navigation or safety. Typically 5 to 25 s (a few Sentinel-2 tiles are read and rendered). Price: USD 0.01. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day.

skypeek: Predict satellite passes over a location. Returns the passes of a satellite (default the ISS) over a point in the next 1-3 days: start, highest and end times with azimuth and elevation, duration, and whether the pass is visible to the eye. Input: `lat`, `lon`, optional `alt_m`, `norad_id`, `days`, `min_elevation` and `visible_only`. SGP4 predictions, not observations, from CelesTrak orbital elements (only derived pass times are returned; no endorsement by CelesTrak implied). Satellites: CelesTrak's 'stations' and 'visual' groups plus NOAA 15 / 18 / 19; another NORAD id is a 422 (not charged). At most 40 passes. A cold orbital-data cache or an upstream outage can be a 503 (not charged; retry). Typically under 1 s; with a cold orbital-data cache up to a minute or more (a 503 when too slow, not charged: retry). Price: USD 0.002. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day.

skypeek: Calculate the great-circle distance between two airports or points. Returns the great-circle distance between two airports (by code) or coordinates, in km, nautical miles and statute miles, with the initial and final true bearings and the midpoint. Input: `from` and `to`: each an airport code or {lat, lon}. Informational only: not for flight planning or navigation. A spherical (haversine) distance, within about 0.5 % of the WGS-84 geodesic. Airports: OurAirports (public domain); the data may contain errors and no endorsement is implied. An unknown code is a 422 unknown_airport (not charged). Typically under 0.1 s. Price: USD 0.001. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/airport-lookup-flight-distance-api.html

skypeek: List asteroid and comet close approaches to Earth.

Input: optional `days` and `dist_max_au`. Data: NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics close-approach API (US Government work); no endorsement by NASA or JPL is implied. At most 100 approaches per answer. Not an impact-risk assessment. Cached up to an hour. An upstream outage is a 503 upstream_unavailable (not charged). Typically under 1 s. Price: USD 0.001. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day.

skypeek: Aurora forecast: the chance of visible aurora at a location in the next 30-90 minutes. Returns the chance (0 to 100 percent) of visible aurora overhead at a point from NOAA SWPC's OVATION model for the next 30-90 minutes, with the current Kp, the Sun's altitude and whether it is dark enough. Input: `lat` and `lon`. Data: NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (public domain), a derived copy, not an official NOAA product; no endorsement by NOAA or the National Weather Service is implied. The model assumes a dark, clear sky: cloud, moonlight and light pollution are not modelled. Cached up to 10 minutes. An upstream outage is a 503 upstream_unavailable (not charged). Typically under 1 s cached, a few seconds on a refresh. Price: USD 0.001. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/space-weather-kp-index-aurora-api.html

Returns one METAR or TAF report you paste, decoded into wind, visibility, weather, clouds, temperature and dew point, altimeter and the flight category (VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR) (TAF: each forecast period and the temperature extremes); groups it does not recognise are listed in `unparsed`. Input: `raw`, optional `kind`. Informational only: not for flight planning or navigation. Decoded locally (no upstream call). Day and hour are as reported (UTC); a METAR or TAF carries no month or year. A report it cannot read is a 422 invalid_report (not charged). Typically under 0.1 s. Price: USD 0.001. Free: 5 skypeek calls per IP per UTC day. Docs: https://tanod.dev/learn/decode-metar-taf-api.html
