Solar Coaster vs Fulcanelli

Solar Coaster provides accurate position, time, motion and eclipse information for Earth's nearest star, Sol, our Sun, and nearest celestial body, Luna, our Moon. Information includes 3D movement graphs, upcoming eclipses and their circumstances, rise and set times, positions, distances and velocities, moon phase, illumination and crescent rotation. Solar Coaster automatically updates its state every minute, or you can examine minutes randomly. The simulation uses a local horizontal coordinate system when displaying information, which essentially means that your current position is the center of the Universe and all calculated values are relative to you. Sun and Moon positions are also available in equatorial coordinates. Solar Coaster stores enough onboard astronomical data to keep it running through the year 2100 AD, which means that all calculations can be performed locally without the need of a network connection — useful while in the wild chasing an eclipse. Algorithms are accurate at all longitudes, and latitudes between -61° south and +60° north (roughly speaking, locations outside the Polar regions). Of course, you must have Location Services enabled and allow Solar Coaster to access your position for accurate simulation results, and to properly detect eclipses visible at your location. You can also allow Notification Center to keep you informed when those eclipses will occur. Solar Coaster comes in various flavors: for iOS a native App; and for macOS a native App, Screen Saver and Web App.

Fulcanelli is your live Earth activity dashboard — earthquakes, space weather, and clear intelligence briefings in one place. See recent USGS earthquakes on an interactive map with QuakeFeed-style green land and glowing seismic ripples at each epicenter. Filter by magnitude and region, tap the feed to jump straight to the quake, and zoom in for a closer look at what just happened. Track the space weather layers that surround our planet: • Solar flares • Geomagnetic storms • Aurora / planetary Kp • Schumann resonance Read a shared daily Earth Intelligence briefing — pre-generated so everyone sees the same clear summary of seismic clusters, geomagnetic conditions, and notable patterns. Pattern analysis and education only. Fulcanelli does not predict earthquakes. Whether you’re following California, Alaska, the Ring of Fire, or worldwide activity, Fulcanelli helps you stay informed about what’s happening on and around Earth. Features • Live earthquake feed and map • Magnitude and geography filters • Seismic ripple markers with magnitude labels • Space weather layers and dashboards • Daily Earth Intelligence briefings • Alert preferences for quakes and environmental activity Data sources include USGS and NOAA. Location is optional and only used to show you on the map when enabled.
