The sun rises on the left, climbs to its highest point at midday and sets on the right; at night the moon follows the same arc through a sky full of stars. The colours fade between dawn, day, sunset and night, and the stars twinkle faintly.
It is a calm, glanceable way to see where you are in the day. The sun and moon follow a simple fixed schedule — up at 6:00, down at 18:00 — so this is a picture of the day, not an astronomical sunrise and sunset calculator. The time is written across the sky, and it works in any time zone, which makes it a lovely world-clock face.
Where it's useful

Questions
Does it show real sunrise and sunset?
No. The sun rises at 6:00 and sets at 18:00 every day for simplicity. It is not an astronomical calculator.
Does it have a stopwatch mode?
No. The sky only makes sense for the time of day.
Can I see another city's sky?
Yes. Choose a time zone and the sky shows that city's time of day.
