Features & Capabilities

The Sun, Moon and Planets Chrome extension is your comprehensive astronomy app offering detailed information on astronomical objects within our solar system. It allows users to calculate key data such as azimuthal and elevation angles, distances to Earth, rise and set times, daylight duration, moon phases, and eclipses.

Interactive graphical displays enhance the experience by visualizing the current lunar phase with a moon globe, objects above the horizon, and the positions of planets and their moons including Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, plus the illuminated Earth. Recent updates include star maps of our cosmic neighborhood and selected exoplanetary systems.

For ease of access, the app provides Android home screen widgets showing current lunar phases, solar system positions, illuminated Earth maps, and times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset. Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast or curious stargazer, this app offers an engaging way to explore our celestial environment.

User Reviews

The app is praised for widgets, educational content, visuals, and engaging orbital simulations. However, strong, recurring concerns are that dates do not persist or save, and the app lacks advanced orbital data (orbits, perihelion/aphelion, time-lapse) and broader Sun/Moon content. Multiple reviews push for richer data and features, alongside appreciation for the widget ecosystem.

Pros

Excellent/incredible widgets that are frequently praised by users.
Educational and knowledge-rich content that users find valuable.
Visually appealing, calm, and well-crafted UI/visuals.
Engaging and interactive solar system features (e.g., planet orbits) that users enjoy.

Cons

Date persistence issue: dates do not stay fixed or save, and navigating dates can reset to today (appears in multiple reviews).
Lack of advanced orbital data/features: users request orbits for planets, perihelion/aphelion points, and time-lapse capabilities (repeated across several reviews).
Calls for more data/content: requests for additional Sun/Moon data, space probes/artificial objects, and broader astronomical information indicate gaps in current content (mentioned by multiple reviews).
