## What is Sky Today?

The sky, right now.

Sky Today is a precision instrument for the living sky — not a horoscope feed. Open it and see exactly where every planet sits on the zodiac at this moment: Sun through Pluto, on real concentric orbits, at their true positions. No birth chart. No sign-up. No data to enter. The sky is the same for everyone on Earth — so the app just works, the instant you open it.

WATCH THE SKY MOVE
Drag the timeline and every planet glides along its orbit. Scrub forward and back through days, months, a full year — positions, aspects, and readouts retune live. Retrograde planets actually slow, stop, and reverse as you pass their stations, because it's all computed from a real ephemeris, not faked.

SEE WHAT'S CONNECTING
A clean chart wheel draws every aspect between the planets — conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, oppositions — with the soonest-to-perfect aspect lit in gold. Each one lists its exact orb, whether it's applying or separating, and the precise date and time it perfects.

NEVER MISS A MOMENT
A unified timeline gathers every ingress, retrograde station, moon phase, and exact aspect, each with a live countdown. Tap any event to send the whole app to that exact moment and see the sky as it will be.

GO DEEPER ON ANY PLANET
Tap a planet for its position, speed, next sign change, next station, and a trail showing its recent motion across the zodiac.

BUILT LIKE AN INSTRUMENT
Calm, observatory-grade design. Monospace readouts to the arcminute. Slow, deliberate motion. Choose your accent color, dial the ambient motion up or down, and set how far the timeline reaches.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-09

New: Moon Calendar. Browse moon phases by month with illumination and exact new/full moon times, computed from the same Swiss Ephemeris data as the rest of the app. Open it right from the Moon page.

Sun and Moon detail cards now do more. The Moon's screen shows its next phase; the Sun's shows the next solstice or equinox — no more empty dash where a retrograde station used to be.

Your accent color, everywhere. The color you pick in Settings now carries through the time readout, the NEXT chip, and the time-travel scrubber.

Tap a zodiac glyph to zoom in. See it enlarged with its sign name — easier to read on smaller screens.

Fixes: the share sheet now opens reliably on iPad, and zodiac and planet glyphs render as clean symbols instead of falling back to color emoji.

Thanks for using Sky Today — keep the feedback coming.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-02
