Solstix

The sky is doing something incredible right now. Solstix shows you what.

STUNNING VISUALS, REAL DATA

Solstix isn’t just another sunrise app. It’s a beautifully designed astronomy app with original illustrated visuals, accurate sun and moon data, and a dynamic horizon that shifts through real-time sky colors from predawn to golden hour to night.

It also includes live imagery from publicly available NASA sources.

LIVE FROM SPACE

See the sun through imagery from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory — including solar flares, coronal loops, and magnetic activity in wavelengths invisible to the human eye.

Explore Earth from deep space with imagery from NASA’s DSCOVR EPIC camera.

THE MOON, PERFECTED

Track accurate moon phases with illumination percentage. Drag through 60 days of past and future phases with haptic feedback. See what the moon looks like tonight with NASA’s Dial-A-Moon.

DAYLIGHT, VISUALIZED

Follow the sun’s path across the sky. Watch the horizon change in real time. Know exactly when golden hour begins, and understand every twilight phase from astronomical dawn to civil dusk.

FEATURES • Original illustrated Solstix sun, moon, and horizon views • Live NASA SDO imagery in multiple wavelengths • Moon phase with drag-to-scrub and haptic feedback • NASA Dial-A-Moon and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter imagery • Dynamic horizon with real-time sky colors and stars • Sun path arc with altitude, azimuth, and progress • Full twilight timeline • Golden hour countdown • NASA EPIC Earth imagery from deep space • NOAA-powered precision calculations
