iPhone Application Watch: VelaClock 1.4
Vela Design Group has announced the latest version of its VelaClock world clock application for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Easy to configure, users can display sunrise, sunset, dawn and dusk times for civil, nautical or astronomical times, moon phase and tilt.
VelaClock divides the screen into two panes, the upper pane which contains a list of cities and a lower detail pane. Each row in the city list displays the country flag, city name, local time, day of week and a daylight bar (which can optionally be hidden). The daylight bar gives the user a picture of 24 hours of natural light (bright daylight, three kinds of twilight, and night). It may be centered at noon or the current time. A thin white bar indicates when the moon is visible.
Three panels, which can be finger swiped between, show the following information:
Panel 1:
- Countdown to the next sunrise or sunset and next moonrise or moonset.
- Time of the next sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset.
- Name of the current moon phase.
- An image of the moon as seen in the sky above the currently selected city. This image accurately depicts the moon's phase, and the angle at which the moon's crescent appears to be rotated from the vertical. Because this angle can change rapidly, it is updated once a minute.
- Time until the next moon phase (new, quarter, full).
- Time of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, and three kinds of twilight (civil, nautical, astronomical) for both dawn and dusk.
- Azimuth of sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset. Azimuth (compass direction) is specified in degrees, 0 to 360, clockwise from North.
- Daylight duration in hour and minutes. Change in minutes of daylight from the previous day.
- Dates, times and images of the next four moon phases.
