Sun & Moon is a bundle of two general purpose astronomy applications, Sol! II & Moon Info! While both are extremely valuable tools for astronomers, they are also well suited for everyday use.
Sol! II - computes Sun Rise, Sun Set, Day Length, start and end of Civil, Nautical, and Astronomical Twilight, and the length of day with twilight times added for any location on the planet. Sol! II has a Sun Information and Sun Compass display and can automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time (DST) in 50 different time zones. In addition, Sol! II also now includes a sun tracker that plots the position of the sun through its daily arc!
Moon Info! - A utility for computing Moon Phase, Percent Illumination, Rise, Set and other interesting information about our closest neighor in the Solar System!

Planet 2000 Planet 2000 - The program Planet 2000 allows to calculate the position of the solar system bodies, from Mercury up to Saturn. It also calculates the Sun and the Moon position. The program gives the celestial coordinates (Right ascension and Declination) and the coordinates of the celestial body respect on the observer (topocentric coordinates Azimuth and Altitude)
Solar and Lunar Eclipses Solar and Lunar Eclipses - Solar Eclipses
Total-annular solar eclipses processed by the program are comprised between 1900 and 2100 (exactly 287 eclipses from May 28th, 1900 to September 4th, 2100).
The program gives the times of the phases (initial, central and final) and the geographical coordinates where it is possible to observe those circumstances of the eclipse
