THE LIQUID GLASS UPDATE — the biggest rework yet, inside and out. A NEW LOOK Every panel, sheet, button and control is now real translucent glass, with light catching the edges the way Apple's own materials do. The sky shows through the app instead of being covered by it. THE NAMED SKY (new) Switch on Constellations and the real figures appear over the star field — Orion, the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, the Southern Cross and 16 more, drawn from true J2000 star positions and turning correctly as the Earth spins and as you scrub time. LIGHT THAT SPILLS City lights now glow across the night side, the atmosphere has genuine depth from the limb outward, the terminator burns warm at sunrise, and the Moon catches the sun on its lit edge. A SKY YOU CAN READ All 15,933 tracked objects now read as orbital shells instead of static: satellites over the planet step back so continents, coastlines and city grids stay visible, and the far side of the sky recedes properly behind the near side. REAL STAR COLOURS Blue giants, white suns, orange and deep-red stars — the star field is now coloured by spectral class, the way the sky actually looks. SHARPER HARDWARE Satellite models gained segmented solar arrays with real frames and spars, and much finer surface detail up close. MORE MAP, LESS CHROME The scattered map buttons are now one tidy glass cluster, and the time bar rests as a single slim row — with speed controls one tap away — giving the map back a large slice of the screen.
