Meteor Wheel

Navigation has been updated to the latest iOS standard. On iPad, the tab bar can now be turned into a sidebar. Tap the sidebar button at the left of the tab bar to switch between the two. Shower pages, parent bodies and the Reference explainers now read in a comfortable column rather than running the full width of the screen. The iPhone layout is unchanged. A new astronomy engine. Peak times, dark windows, radiant heights and moonrise are calculated more precisely than ever, and shower peaks now line up exactly with the International Meteor Organization's calendar. Faster all round. Tonight, the Wheel and the Calendar open and scroll noticeably more smoothly. Plan from anywhere. Each observing site now keeps its own time zone, so a trip abroad shows that site's night in local time, wherever your phone happens to be. Smarter alerts. Peak-night reminders arrive in the early evening at your observing site, and keep good time when you travel. Better place search. Finding a site by name now picks up its time zone automatically, and you can choose one by hand when you're offline.
