• New: tap any named star to open a Vedic tap-card — its rāśi, nakṣatra, pāda, star type, and modern astronomical details in a scrollable sheet. Every yogatārā, Vedic asterism anchor (Vyādha, Agastya, Abhijit, Dhruva), and 30+ named Latin-labeled stars across Perseus, Cygnus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Corvus, Draco respond to tap. • Every star on the sky now draws a soft 4-point sparkle at rest. • Explore-mode pan is now free-flow — release with momentum and the sky drifts smoothly to rest instead of dead-stopping. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.

• UI overhaul: constellation lines, cusp beams, and moon path now render via Metal shaders with traveling gold, silver, and blue pulses on focus. • New pañcāṅga (Vedic calendar) surface — tithi, nakṣatra, yoga, karaṇa live from your location. • Time Travel now reaches back to 3000 BCE and forward to 3000 CE, with Julian / Gregorian toggle. • Explore mode redesigned — every rāśi / nakṣatra / pāda beam stays on-screen with the focus band always visible. • Customize sheet reorganized into three tabs — Travel, Layers, Advanced. • Yogatārā stars now render as proper Gaussian PSF points in their true stellar color. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.

• UI overhaul: Metal-shader constellation lines with traveling gold / silver / blue highlight pulses, pure black sky, ether mist below horizon. • New Explore mode: current sector highlighted, rest dimmed. • Time Travel now reaches back to 3000 BCE with a Julian / Gregorian toggle. • Refraction-correct star positions. • New pañcāṅga (Vedic calendar) surface. • New daśa-dikpāla (10-direction devatā) table. • Performance and stability improvements.

• See both worlds at once — toggle Western constellations overlay on the Vedic sky. • Stars, planets, and every overlay now render exactly where you'd see them looking up — the sky is corrected for how the atmosphere bends starlight near the horizon. • Focus on a rāśi or nakṣatra to light up its whole figure. The highlight stays lit for a moment after you look away, then fades gracefully. Multiple figures can stay lit at once. • New Vedic figures over familiar bright stars — including the Heart of Brahmā over Capella and Viśvāmitra's inverted heaven over the Southern Cross. • Re-imagined outlines across the Vedic figures - Makara

- Planet positions deviation by arc-minutes westwards fixed - New label क्षीरसागर केन्द्र / Kṣīrasāgara Kendra on the galactic centre. - New figure शिशुमार / Śiśumāra — the Little Dipper, Dhruva at the tail. - Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy added as photographic markers. - Time Travel: full-height sheet, exact date, Return-to-Now, 1900–2100 range. - Equinox labels resized to sit alongside rāśi names. - Visualization section in Customize with all sky-line sliders + live ayanāṃśa. - Pāda cusps and Moon's orbit dialled down by default.

Vasanta-viṣuva and Śarad-viṣuva — the vernal and autumnal equinoxes — now marked on the ecliptic, drifting westward through the sidereal signs as precession moves them. The Moon's orbit drawn: a silver great circle inclined 5° from the ecliptic, threading Rāhu and Ketu at its two crossings. Minor fix in image icon Every reference line — ecliptic, rāśis, nakṣatras, pādas, and the new moon path — tuned to your prominence with individual sliders. Fix planetary images: Mercury now shown as a MESSENGER full-globe view; Venus drawn cleanly without the earlier dark halo.

A NEW FACE New app icon and launch screen, in bronze and gold. The launch screen carries a line from the Uṣas hymn: ऋतस्य पन्थामन्वेति साधु (Ṛgveda 1.124.3 — "she follows the path of ṛta, straight") A GOLD EDGE ON FOCUS Focus a nakṣatra and its yogatārā — its principal star — gains a soft gold border. Kṛttikā lights all six Pleiades sisters; Revatī's faint ζ Piscium swells so it can be found. PLACE NAMES IN YOUR SCRIPT With Devanāgarī on, city names render in Devanāgarī too — नई दिल्ली, मुम्बई — regardless of your phone's system language. A SOFTER CHROME The information pill and base controls are now gently translucent, so starlight breathes through. TIME TRAVEL, CORRECTED The time picker now reads as the time at the destination. Set eight in the evening and land in Delhi, and you see Delhi's eight in the evening sky.
