The sky, right now
Every planet, Chiron and the lunar nodes to the arc minute. The chart is stamped to the latest validated XRP Ledger close, so every ledger is a new sky.
Astro Bear Live Sky is the first known XRPL project with a live transit wheel synced to ledger time, letting anyone save a snapshot of the sky to the ledger.
Keep the sky with you
Add Live Sky to your home screen and it keeps charting the planets in real time, even if the internet goes down. Install it now, while you are online, so the stars are always in your pocket.
How can that work? The planet math runs on your own device, using its clock. The internet is only used to load this page the first time, to sync with the XRP Ledger, and to save a sky.
