Daylight, Twilight or Night

At a glance, VelaClock shows whether a city is currently in daylight, twilight or night.

To indicate twilight, a small colored rectangle will appear to the right of the digital time. There are three kinds of twilight: civil, nautical and astronomical. The name of the current light is in the bottom left corner of the screen. For twilight definitions, visit:

The detail area shows:

• Time until the next sunrise or sunset.
• Time until the next moonrise or 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).

Astronomical calculations are performed internally by VelaClock, without a network connection.

Moon Phases

The moon info panel shows the dates and times of the next four moon phases. A quick swipe of the finger on the panel will scroll to a different detail panel.

Note: The daylight bar can be shown or hidden by tapping on the current light dot in the bottom left corner.
