Nice. I worked on a project using SOHO imagery that would do something similar where the images would be displayed on a large screen similar to the observatory on the ship from Sunshine. It was meant for a classroom for an observatory, but it just never made it. Died on the vine. It's cool to see a project with something I have actual experience in how the back end experience is like.

Sounds like a cool project!

  I saw that available in app store button, and hoped that it would be available as an AppleTV app. That would pretty much have done what I was attempting. Allow the user to control which filter and then select full screen of that one image. The thing I was working on was going to keep the timelapse loop to one full solar day for a full rotation. Including the moon and the live feed is a nice upgrade. I'd download this in a heart beat if it was available on AppleTV! ::pray-hands:: ::wink::

    Just you wanting it is enough for me to make it! Honestly considering it now — Flutter doesn't have tvOS support yet, so it'd be a SwiftUI rewrite. But the core ports cleanly. I want to do it now!

      If you build it, they will come

      What about something similar but for just running it full screen on a secondary monitor?

Man something like that would be great in science classrooms or universities. Just showing the current state of the solar system with live data. I used to have a secondary monitor pulled up to the HD viewing project on ISS years ago where they had live streams of high resolution video feed, slowly cycling between a camera down, forward, reverse. Slowly they started to die, and they never replaced them. https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/esrs/hdev/ https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/esrs/hdev/ I still thing it changes one perspective to connect a live feed to space, and just start to take in (even tangentially) some of these live type feeds of the world outside of the manmade confines we find ourselves

  Just realized you could use a top down view of the earth as a 24 hour clock. I wonder if that exists already.

  I feel the same way after looking at the Sun feed and space in general, there's something calming about it
