Online alarm clock for 1:47 am
You are watching the clock while the outback sky darkens, waiting for the appointed moment to observe the meteor shower. Set the alarm for 1:47 am so you can prepare your viewing spot without repeatedly checking the time. With 2:00 am approaching, those thirteen minutes are enough to adjust your chair, face away from nearby lights and let your eyes settle into the darkness.
Your meteor shower watch may involve switching between a star map, weather details and messages while the alarm page sits behind them. A background tab will usually continue counting, though some mobile browsers may restrict it when conserving power. Keep the browser running and prevent the phone from sleeping: if either stops, the meteor shower alarm may stay silent and you could miss the moment you planned to observe.
While you wait beside the car or campsite at this late hour, keep a bottle of water within easy reach and choose a small, tidy snack if you are hungry. Something that can be eaten quietly without bright lights or rustling packets is less likely to interrupt your attention. Leave a large meal and hot drink until after the viewing window, especially if preparation would draw you away from the sky as 2:00 am nears.
Common questions
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
What happens once the alarm goes off?
It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?
It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.
