Score the next nights for stargazing at a location (0-100 per night). Use for "when should I stargaze this week near X", "is Saturday any good for the Milky Way", trip planning. Each night combines the three-layer cloud-cover forecast, moon illumination and up-fraction, and the astronomical-darkness window; `best_window` names the best upcoming night. Also returns the location's light-pollution estimate (approximate Bortle class + what's visible at that darkness). Args: lat: Latitude in decimal degrees (-90..90). You know city coordinates — pass them. lon: Longitude in decimal degrees (-180..180). nights: How many nights ahead to score, 1-16 (default 7; forecasts beyond ~7 nights are increasingly uncertain). Returns {timezone, light_pollution, nights:[{date, darkness, moon, cloud, score:{value, band, summary}}], best_window, uncertainty_note, attribution}. Present scores/verdicts verbatim; skies beyond ~7 days are provisional.
