I made this little walkthrough for finding the visible planets tonight and a meteor shower shooting start counter. Plus a little model of the solar system to try to wrap my head around what's going on. It's all based on your location if you provide it.

lifesprites.com/solar.html doesn't require account creation. The rest does. It's free, but you need an account.

A note to anyone still checking this out.. The "sprite" knows the app well. It you're curious about anything just ask through chat. AND.. Pretty please, someone just try building something through the sprite. This is my dying wish for this thread... Please try the app this thing was built in. Create your own stargazing guide or share your telescope manual with the sprite so you can do the whole RAG pipeline with a question about how something works... maybe throw a recipe at the sprite and watch it create a step by step cooking guide. Tell it you care about your mom in California and to keep an eye on fires, earthquakes, air quality and weather. Ask the sprite about astronomy things. Switch to a new sprite and see how the capabilities stay the same but it makes you laugh more or less. Oh and ask it how it remembers you and itself and how it deals with time. I spent a lot more time on all of that than I did on astronomy. Please somebody actually use the app.

I'm seeing that there's traffic coming from Europe. Realizing I use US measurements for everything. I'm working on fixing that right now. Sorry for the oversight.

Oh or ask it to create a custom tracker for something. I've done game score boards, health trackers, meteor sightings. It's all made in a couple seconds. It's definitely not perfect yet, but I'd love feedback on the actual thing I made instead of the thing I made with the thing I made. If you have a minute I would appreciate it more than you know.

I still don't understand why there's a new moon when the moon is between the earth and the sun and a full moon when the earth is between the moon and the sun. Maybe if I stare at the model longer it'll magically make sense.

If you do make something, you can share it with the link here. I can see what a good or bad job it did. Ask the sprite to share if needed.

I think the measurements are fixed. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Several hundred years ago, these combined would have been considered a major omen.
