Quietly, in the bottom of the sidebar to the left, is a widget that displays the times of today’s solar events. An ephemeris is a tool used by navigators and astronomers to predict celestial events, like eclipses, moon rise, occultations (planets or stars crossing paths) and the like.
My widget (home grown – written in PHP scripting language) accurately predicts solar events at the longitude and latitude for Torrance, CA, but will be approximately correct anywhere within a fifty mile radius.
I’m working on a version of this where you can put in your zip code or longitude and latitude to get your local solar ephemerides. Still in work, but possibly will materialize soon.
