- An alert the day before an eclipse you can see, and another an hour before its deepest moment.
- Set the sky to the minute of the eclipse and see where the Sun or the Moon will stand, from where you are.
- An arrow in the camera view that leads you to the Moon, a planet or any star.
- Meteor showers, oppositions and supermoons in the same calendar.
