Good eye! That's the Sun's own rotation — ~27 days (Carrington rotation period) at the equator, it's plasma, so slower at the poles. 24hrs ≈ 13° of longitude ≈ ~7% of the disk. 1/365 would be Earth's orbit, which is a different motion :)
Thank you! It is live on Android, in review on App store and hopefully live shortly. Will remove that hyperlink from the Appstore image until it's live
That's raw NASA SDO satellite footage. Claude (Opus 4.7) was used almost exclusively for building the site. Static site on Render (no hosting fees), pushed from Github. Uses NASA API's (free), a very cost-friendly project on the ole wallet!
Looks refreshing. Titles can't capture visual projects like these
"Live" from the sun, minus the ~500 lightseconds it takes to get here :)
Also the videos are made with frames from every 12 seconds or so over 24 hours, I am definitely using "live" very liberally :D
Looking at the sun daily timelapse. It looks like the rotation of the sun is more that 1/365th of the sun diameter. What am i missing?

Awesome! Now I wish screensavers were a thing again.
Me too! I kind of forgot about them for a minute. You see more screensavers on TV now than on the computer!
