Star Almanac: Space Watch Face

Every planet and the Moon, exactly where they are right now.

Star Almanac is a live planetarium for your Wear OS watch, drawn in pixel art like a brass orrery lit by its own Sun. Each planet sits in its real direction around the glowing Sun, lit on the side that faces it, and every brass orbit ring casts a small shadow away from it. Earth rides the calendar ring on today's date with the Moon beside it in its real phase. Gold hands rise from the Sun, and a comet sweeps the seconds.

A SKY THAT KEEPS UP
• Earth turns once a day, with its lit half where it's daytime right now.
• Saturn's rings pass in front of and behind the planet, and its shadow falls across them.
• The Sun's zodiac sign glows gold on the calendar ring and changes the day the Sun moves into the next one.
• Planets clear of the Sun's glare tonight carry a small glint, and the stars twinkle behind the orbits.
• Positions stay within 0.4° of professional astronomy software, all the way to 2050.

TURN YOUR WRIST
The gold rim catches the light, the crystal glints, and the star field slides beneath the planets.

THREE DIALS
• Aventurine: deep blue glass flecked with copper, with the Milky Way along its real path
• Meteorite: etched iron crystals
• Deep space: blue nebulae behind a fuller Milky Way

ALWAYS ON
The dial rests as a quiet engraving, with dim orbits, outlined hands and every planet still in place. Raise your wrist and the Sun lights first, then the planets and the sky.

MAKE IT YOURS
Hold the watch face and choose Customize or Edit:
• Dial: Aventurine, Meteorite or Deep space
• Planet names: on or off, for when you're learning the sky
• Left and Right: two complication slots, empty until you fill them

GOOD TO KNOW
• Orbit sizes are artistic, as on any orrery. Directions, orbit shapes, lighting, tilts and dates are real.
• The astronomy runs entirely on your watch and uses no location.
• To use it, touch and hold your current watch face, then swipe to Star Almanac and tap it. Menu names vary by watch.

REQUIREMENTS
• Wear OS 6 or later on a compatible watch.
• Optional phone guide: Android 7.0 or later.
• Always-on display depends on your watch and its settings.
