Somewhere, the world is turning. This is where we come to watch.
More ways to explore the sky. Spherical sky camera · planet positions use NASA/JPL approximate elements (1800–2050).
Pinch outward on the outdoor sky to approach the chairs; pinch inward to step back. This moves the viewpoint, not the stars. Drag with one finger to look around.
Looking toward the chairs from the overlook.
Available on the illustrated outdoor hillside. For keyboard use, focus the sky and use +/− to move, S to sit, and Escape to stand. This is a screen camera; headset tracking stays separate.
Star, constellation, and planet names are optional viewing aids. Five naked-eye planets appear without labels when above the horizon and sufficiently bright.
The sky uses a spherical perspective camera, including a straight-up zenith view. The observatory window remains fixed. Phone motion and VR are future separate viewing modes.
City presets use the city’s local date and sunset time. Custom coordinates use your device time zone.
Location permission is only requested when you tap “Use my location.” Cloud cover is an illustration, not a satellite image.
Sunset times use approximate NOAA-inspired equations; stars use approximate J2000 coordinates. Not intended for navigation. No external scripts or accounts required.
