What's New in Version 1.6.0: • Instant Sky Sync: Massively accelerated app launch with on-device celestial math rendering. • Seasonal Equinoxes & Solstices: Track the Spring & Autumn Equinoxes and Summer & Winter Solstices with local solar noon viewing guides. • Named Traditional Full Moons: Full moons now display their traditional cultural names (e.g., Pink Moon, Strawberry Moon, Harvest Moon) and folklore. • Fireball Meteor Showers: Added the Southern Taurids, Northern Taurids ("Halloween Fireballs"), and Alpha Capricornids. • Planetary Conjunctions: Automatically alerts you to stunning close sky pairings between bright naked-eye planets. • Seamless Weather Forecasts: Enhanced cloud cover forecasting with high-reliability global fallback and 16-day sky visibility outlooks. • Refined Reminders: Simplified reminder buttons for scheduling sky-watching notifications.

The biggest Space Arc update yet — built to get you outside at the right moment and pointed in the right direction. NEW • Tonight's Plan — a timeline for tonight: sunset, full darkness, moonrise, each planet at its best, and every event you can actually see from where you are. • AR Sky Finder — hold up your phone and follow the arrow to a planet, the Moon, a meteor shower's radiant or a satellite. • Live satellite tracking — follow the ISS in real time with a countdown to its next visible pass. Space Arc now spots "Starlink trains", the spectacular lines of satellites visible for a few days after a launch. • Clear-sky alerts — one optional heads-up before sunset, only when something special is up and the forecast is clear. • Observing log — tap "I saw it" to record sightings with notes and photos, earn badges and keep a weekly streak. • Share cards — share a beautiful card of what you're watching or what you saw. • A new welcome tour that explains permissions before asking. SMARTER EVENTS • Meteor showers now show the best hours of the peak night for your location, with expected rates that account for the radiant's height, twilight and moonlight. The Quadrantids are included. • Full Moons, supermoons, blue moons, dark-sky nights, planet oppositions and Mercury/Venus elongations are calculated on your phone for your exact location and time zone. • Eclipses show whether — and how much — you'll see from where you are, through 2030. • Aurora alerts only appear when the storm happens during your dark hours and is strong enough to reach your latitude. • The Sky Score now uses the clearest dark hour of each event's viewing window. • Reminders follow rescheduled launches automatically. FIXES • Astronomy Picture of the Day shows the real daily picture again after NASA moved the service to science.nasa.gov. • Satellite passes and conditions now always use your actual location. • Corrected event dates and times, including planet oppositions and meteor-shower peaks. • Many reliability, accuracy and performance improvements. Clear skies!

Knowing an event is happening is only half of it. This update is about the other half: knowing where to look. WHERE DO I LOOK? Open any event and tap the new compass guide. Space Arc reads your heading live and turns the dial with you, so north stays on north and a marker rides the ring at the event's true bearing. Turn until that marker meets the index at the top of the screen and everything locks green. You're facing the right way. Now tilt up to the elevation in the middle of the dial and start watching. It knows the difference between what you're looking for: the bearing an ISS or Starlink pass climbs out of, the radiant of a meteor shower, the ecliptic where the planets sit, the polar horizon where aurora build. Each one comes with its own bearing, elevation, and a plain note on how to actually watch it. TONIGHT MISSION The home screen now opens with a single pick: the best sky moment near you tonight, scored and explained. Cloud cover and darkness both feed the Sky Score, and the read is honest. "Worth stepping outside" means go. "Conditions look rough, but the timing is on your radar" means keep your expectations low and your coat on. REMINDERS YOU CAN TRUST Setting a reminder now tells you it worked. The bell turns green while an alert is live, and you get a straight answer when one can't be set at all: the event already passed, it's too close to schedule anything useful, or notifications are switched off at the system level. No more tapping a bell and wondering. Clear skies.
