Every city you care about, each under its own sky, on one dial. Europe's clocks went back an hour last night; the US follows next Sunday. #timezones #travel #sky

The solar system as it stands today, turned on by weeks, then Jupiter up close. Tonight the Orionid meteor shower peaks; the darkest hours are before dawn, after the Moon sets. #solarsystem #jupiter #orionids

The live sky over Honolulu at sunset. Turn the dial and the night comes on, with the stars where they really are. This week's moon is a thin crescent, so the evening sky is dark early. #sunset #stargazing #astronomy

Both come from Sol, an iPhone app about natural light that isn't out yet. There's no date. If you'd like one email when it ships, you can ask for it on either game's page.

Both work the sky out in your browser. The buildings stand in their real outlines and heights, from OpenStreetMap and Overture's map data. A shared result is a row of moon phases and never gives the answer away.

Tonight's sunset, called with its reasons: cloud high enough to catch the colour, a clear gap along the sun's bearing, clean air behind it. Not a bare "78%". Sol makes that call every evening for where you stand. Looking for photographers to test it before it ships: solocene.com/beta?c=bsky-photo

Moving soon? Reply with the listing link and which rooms matter to you. We'll answer with which of them get direct sun in December, and which will cook in July, worked out from the buildings actually around it, not a compass. Free while Sol is in beta. Renters very welcome.
