Orbits SEM (Sun/Earth/Moon)
· v1.17.3
About
This tellurium watchface shows the relative position of the sun, earth and moon. It illustrates basic astronomical concepts including day time, night time, solar noon, solstices, equinoxes and high/low/spring/neap tides.
# Features
* Analog time with 3D appearance hands or 12/24 hour digital time
* Displays orbits and relative positions of the earth and moon
* Display the moon phase as seen from the earth (for northern and southern hemispheres) or shadow seen from the North Star
* Time of year shown on circumference with the December solstice on the left, June solstice on the right, March equinox at the bottom, and September equinox at the top.
* Solar disc showing sunrise, sunset, solar noon, dawn and dusk
* Day of the week and day of the month display
* Customizable hand color
Color selection instructions: https://ko-fi.com/post/Entering-numerical-color-settings-I3I5N1TZJ
* Power save during sleeping hours option
NOTE: Although the earth and moon orbits are actually elliptical, if drawn to scale on the watch display, the elliptical shape would be close to imperceptible. Thus the orbits are drawn as circles.
# PRO Version Features
* Customizable day, night, and dawn/dusk colors
* Radial line on the earth shows your current longitude position
* Leap year indicator
