    "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?

      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

    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!
