Major update to Solstix v3.0 the free astronomy app.

Back again with another major update thanks to this community.

v3.0 just dropped with a complete visual overhaul. Every celestial body is now a stunning 3D model using official NASA textures. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Drag to rotate like a globe. Long-press for a glow burst.

The Moon shows realistic phase lighting with the terminator shadow exactly where it should be as you scrub through 60 days of phases. Saturn has its rings with realistic tilt. Smooth 60fps rendering across the board.

New Artemis II Mission Center. Track NASA’s historic crewed lunar mission in real time. See the crew (Wiseman, Glover, Koch, Hansen). Follow the spacecraft from launch to lunar flyby to splashdown. Live mission status updates. Countdown to Artemis III and the first woman on the Moon in 2027.

New Space Weather section. Track solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and geomagnetic storms. See activity levels from Quiet to Severe. Powered by NASA DONKI.

Mars still has live Curiosity rover imagery with 6 cameras.

Every other planet has NASA mission archives. Juno, Cassini, Voyager 2, New Horizons, MESSENGER, Akatsuki.

Still completely free. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking.

To everyone who has dropped a tip in the jar, thank you. It genuinely helps and means a lot.
