[ "Houston, we have a free version!" ] Pluto orbits on the fringes of our solar system, billions of miles away. Sunlight is much weaker on Pluto than on Earth, yet it isn't completely dark. For just a moment near dawn and dusk each day, the illumination on Earth matches that of high noon on Pluto. We call this Pluto Time. See when your next Pluto Time occurs! • Automatically calculate the next Pluto Time based on your location. • Receive live timing updates and interact with accurate planetary textures. Compare Pluto Times for different cities around the world! • Swap between dynamic (accurate geopositioning) and static locations in the Where Are You? tab. • Choose from over 500 preset cities/regions. Choose when and how to be notified! • Configure notifications and clock formats in the Settings tab. • Enabling notifications "Before Midday" will notify you when Pluto Times occur before 12 PM noon. • Enabling notifications "After Midday" will notify you when Pluto Times occur after 12 PM noon.
