Lunar - Astronomy for the Palm OS. Lunar helps you observe the Moon by showing you the phases, the position in its orbit around Earth, the distance from Earth, its age in the current lunation and the percentage of illumination. It also gives you the names of the prominent features on the face of the Moon and the major quarters in the current lunation. Lunar also allows you to add the major Moon phases to your Date Book.
Lunar works on all grey scale and colour Palm OS devices with Palm OS 3.0 or greater.
What's New in This Release:
· Code optimization and OS5 compatibility.
· Added possibility to step through the lunations in the Phases screen.
· Fixed a bug, which was introduced in 1.8, which could cause an error when using the old DateBk b/w icons.
