When I enter my correct location into the web interface, it thinks the sun has just set. It's actually the middle of the day here.
I've tried slight variations of my current location in case it was just getting mixed up with other similarly named places elsewhere in the world. No luck.
OTOH I already have the Android version on my phone and that has always worked just fine.
Strange...
- adastra22 4y agoMaybe UTC vs. local time?
- pbhjpbhj 4y agoThis seems like a reasonable choice though (same happens to me), they show you tonight's sky ... otherwise during the day they'd always show a star map with no stars. What would you want them to show during the day, on a star mapping website?
- paledot 4y agoAt risk of sounding inane, the stars are still in the sky in the daytime. A star map showing what you would see during a solar eclipse is not an unreasonable choice either.
- pbhjpbhj 4y agoIt's not stupid to show the stars over head right now, but the utility of showing stars as they appear next time you'll be able to see them seems clearly greater.
- helb 4y agoYou can switch to current time (clock icon, then clock with arrow icon) and turn off the atmosphere (cloud icon) to see what's above you during daytime. The android app does the same for me, it shows a message with something like "it's daytime in X, fast forward time" and moves to the evening.
