SunSphere See the globe spin from any vantage point. Track the progress of nightfall from Hawaii to Happauge, Teahupoo to Toledo!

SunSphere displays an image of the earth showing the sunrise/sunset terminator. You can use the buttons to position the image to any location and spin the image. The solar calculations use the "systematic" algorithm described in the Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Ephemeris by P. Kenneth Seidelmann, Ed. ISBN 0-935702-68-7. See http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/for further details. The world map image is Copyright © Apple Computer Inc., Used by permission. 1.3 (1998.11.10) Copyright © 1996-99 Martin Minow.

IF you are beta testing these applets, please let me know what browser you used and how it worked -- thanks!

Geek note: The Volumizer applet was substituted with a Javascript - until it can be shown to work on a few more platforms. Thanks Chuck for the debuggin suggestions...
