App update history

1.0.16

  • Object catalog: added promontories, interesting features, crater chains, ridges, plains, rilles, scarps, and valleys; expanded the Mons and Montes catalog.
  • Globe: added mare outlines and line geometry for extended features; markers and outlines scale with zoom.
  • Artificial objects: spacecraft icons are now shown on the globe.
  • Crater filter: moved to the bottom of the object panel; the initial selected range is 100–550 km.
  • Observations: fixed Moon upper-culmination calculations for dates without moonrise.

1.0.15

  • Lunar periods map: added a colored geologic overlay with five main periods and two transition categories; it is available in Uniform lighting and is mutually exclusive with the height map.

1.0.14

  • Celestial bodies: the Sun and Earth are now visible beside the Moon globe; Earth has a textured, lit surface, and the lunar disk occludes bodies when they pass behind it.
  • Controls: added a Sun and Earth visibility toggle and a button to magnify their apparent size 10×, with an on-screen hint.
  • Coordinate grid: removed latitude labels at the poles and matched the axis and pole markers to the grid color.

1.0.13

  • Height map: added an elevation or depth readout beneath the center of the scale; improved the contrast of the scale and callouts.
  • Crater catalog: added 251 craters measuring 2–20 km; crater cards now include Russian and English descriptions and source links.
  • Object cards: detailed cards now open on a separate page.
  • Crater filter: the slider covers 2–550 km on a logarithmic scale; a crater selected through search remains visible outside the filter range.

1.0.12

  • Updated: globe orientation controls and height-map interface elements.
  • Improved: mode indicators and button feedback during interaction.

1.0.11

  • Added: a globe scale with distance markings and a crater diameter filter.
  • Improved: globe rotation controls, detailed map viewing at up to 16× zoom, brightness adjustment, and observation date formatting.

1.0.9

  • Added: on-demand downloads of detailed lunar surface maps, including global and polar coverage.
  • Improved: rendering of all detail maps in view, brightness controls, and map-pack handling.

1.0.5

  • Improved: globe rotation and label placement, reducing label overlap.
  • Changed: object points and regions are hidden at startup and can be shown when needed.

1.0.4

  • Improved: faster app, Moon catalog, and globe startup, with loading indicators.

1.0.3

  • Added: a Sun and Moon observations screen with rise, culmination, and set information, plus constellation display.
  • Improved: event-time calculations with atmospheric refraction and date formatting.

1.0.2

  • Added: support for running astronomical calculations on 32-bit Android devices.

1.0.1

  • First recorded app build prepared for closed testing.
