<h2>The sky scope</h2>
<p>
The large circular visualisation at the top of the page shows the current sky conditions. The sky
colour smoothly interpolates through a full set of elevation-keyed gradients — from deep pre-dawn
navy through golden sunrise, bright midday blue, warm sunset amber, and back to night — with a sun
disc whose glow radius and intensity scale with the actual shortwave radiation at that moment. It
shows the real current time, not the hour you're browsing in the table, and refreshes automatically
alongside the forecast.
The large circular visualisation at the top of the page shows the sky conditions. The sky colour
smoothly interpolates through a full set of elevation-keyed gradients — from deep pre-dawn navy
through golden sunrise, bright midday blue, warm sunset amber, and back to night — with a sun disc
whose glow radius and intensity scale with the shortwave radiation at that moment. It's a live
weather simulation, not just a colour wheel: cloud, rain, snow, and haze are all rendered from the
forecast, so the scope actually looks overcast, wet, or misty when the weather is. By default it
tracks the real current time and refreshes automatically alongside the forecast.
</p>
<h2>Day-cycle time-lapse</h2>
<p>
Press the <strong>Day cycle</strong> play button (▶) on the scope to run a 24-hour time-lapse.
SunScope drives the scope smoothly through the next 24 hours — roughly 15 simulated minutes per
real second, so a full day plays out in about a minute and a half — animating the sky gradients,
the sun's rise and fall, and the evolving weather as cloud rolls in, rain starts, or fog lifts. A
live clock label shows the simulated time as it plays; press again to stop and snap back to now.
</p>
<h2>The draggable timeline</h2>
<p>
Below the scope sits a 24-hour <strong>timeline bar</strong>. Its background is a gradient built
from the actual per-hour sky colours across the coming day, so the bar itself previews how the sky
will shift from dawn to dusk. <strong>Sunrise (↑)</strong> and <strong>sunset (↓)</strong> markers
sit at their real times on the bar, with clock ticks at the quarter points. Grab the thumb and
scrub to any instant to jump the scope — and the "why it feels like this" breakdown — to that
moment, with everything interpolated smoothly between the hourly rows rather than snapping.
