What's New (v2.1) Bug fix: Mars camera selection now correctly shows different images for each camera (NAVCAM, FHAZ, RHAZ, MASTCAM, CHEMCAM, MAHLI)

Introducing Planets — Our Biggest Update Yet What started as a sun tracker has become your pocket planetarium. NEW: PLANETS TAB Swipe through Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune — and yes, Pluto. Each planet features a hand-crafted illustrated view you can drag to rotate and long-press to watch glow. LIVE FROM MARS Switch to NASA mode on Mars and see real images beamed back from the Curiosity rover. Pick from 6 different cameras. The images update as NASA receives them — you're looking at another planet. KNOW WHAT'S UP TONIGHT Real astronomical calculations show you exactly when each planet rises and sets, its distance from Earth, and whether you can spot it with the naked eye. And yes — Solstix is still 100% free. No ads. No paywalls. Built with love by one indie developer. If it brings you joy, there's now a small way to say thanks

What's New - Moon Phase Accuracy: Fixed shadow rendering for waxing/waning phases - crescent now correctly appears on the right side for waxing, left for waning - NASA Moon Imagery: Live daily moon phase images now sync accurately with current lunar cycle - Smoother Interactions: Moon phase scrubbing no longer shifts the screen - drag to preview phases seamlessly - UI Consistency: Unified layout across Sun, Moon, and Daylight tabs Bug Fixes - Fixed moon terminator direction calculation - Fixed NASA SVS 5187 frame mapping formula - Fixed layout shift when previewing future moon phases
