How it works

Each map pixel tests the dot product between the surface normal and the modeled Sun or Moon direction. Moving the time slider recomputes the boundary; the base Earth texture is only geographic context.

Astronomy Engine 2.1.19 calculations, not direct observations. Rise/set uses the upper limb with standard refraction and a sea-level observer; terrain and local weather are not modeled.

Important limitations

Results are astronomical estimates, not a guarantee of visibility or a substitute for safe observation.
