It calculates the accurate positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets on a minute scale, shown on the main month table, the day-detail screen, and the star chart. The star chart shows star positions from the Bright Star Catalogue and the Milky Way, along with Oriental and Western constellation information. It shows the Sun/Moon/planet positions at a specific moment on the star chart, and entering a duration in minutes shows their trace over that period. It calculates solar/lunar eclipses and various planetary events across the entire effective year range, shows the relevant date/time on the day-detail screen, and shows the event's position on the star chart. ## Features 1. The lunisolar, the Gregorian, the Julian day/date, the Islamic/Hebrew month, the sexagenary cycle(干支), 9-star(九星), Kimoon(奇門), 24 solar terms, new moon(with eclipse)/full moon(with eclipse)/first-last quarter/perigee-apogee/ascending-descending node, 28 mansions, Easter date (9-star and Kimoon are only shown for years 1880-2055.) 2.
