Looks clean and wired up nicely. What model API are you using for the AI summary? Great job!

I feel the same way after looking at the Sun feed and space in general, there's something calming about it

Half of it was a to-do list from an LLM response, Claude Opus 4.7, also why it was updated so fast :D

Thank you! I love that you love it! It's on mobile too, check it out! Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lumara-sun-moon-live-viewer/id... Android: https://play.google.com/store/ap

Hmm I will think on this. An open source desktop widget could recreate the screensaver function, triggering on X minutes of inactivity, then minimize upon any user activity. I'll play around and see!

Update: Updated! Optimizations implemented, thanks for the feedback!

by beeswaxpat 5mo ago
Yes, you're right about optimization, this what I'll do: - Switch default to 1024p instead of 2048p so file drops from ~30 MB → ~8 MB (4× smaller) - Proxy through existing Cloudflare Worker with edge cache - Add a /video&#x

Oh wow well thank you! I appreciate feedback and am happy to incorporate it ASAP if I'm by the computer :D

It should be available in all countries (it just went live a few hours ago, perhaps it takes a day?), I will look into that though and confirm. Hopefully it is available ASAP!

Just about everything should be updated now, thanks again!

Thanks for the 1000 points!!! :D

I appreciate your feedback and will be rolling in some of these suggestions into the next update today! :D

Thank you for the feedback and I'll look for Stefan Burns!

Just you wanting it is enough for me to make it! Honestly considering it now — Flutter doesn't have tvOS support yet, so it'd be a SwiftUI rewrite. But the core ports cleanly. I want to do it now!

Thank you for the detailed feedback, I did not take it as pedantic. It's important to be accurate and I would hate for this to be shown in a classroom somewhere and have incorrect data! I'll have the site updated today.

I did not anticipate having a screensaver project on my bingo card on this day in 2026 but it is now so! I am guessing that most people would want to see the Sun videos for a screen saver, maybe a random wavelength on each screensaver insta

P.P.S.- Live now on Appstore and Play store!

by beeswaxpat 5mo ago
Thank you! You know you are the 2nd person to mention a screensaver, that is enough motivation for me to build it! Seems like it shouldn't be that hard, I will look into it soon.

Update: iOS just went live minutes ago! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lumara-sun-moon-live-viewer/id... Site's been updated with the real badge — universal iPhone + iPad app. Free, same features as Andro

Sounds like a cool project!

That's a great idea, I will add that today thank you!

Touché — when the person who rebuilt the pipeline says it's not raw, it's not raw :) Is optical-flow interpolation a step too far for outreach, or fair game? Tempted to motion-interpolate (ffmpeg's minterpolate) the daily MP4

Thank you so much. This is one my favorite projects, few bugs, straight forward. I find it refreshing too to sometimes take a step back and observe the Sun and space. It's on Google play store for android phones under Lumara, hopefully

That's raw NASA SDO satellite footage. Claude (Opus 4.7) was used almost exclusively for building the site. Static site on Render (no hosting fees), pushed from Github. Uses NASA API's (free), a very cost-friendly project on the o

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

Also the videos are made with frames from every 12 seconds or so over 24 hours, I am definitely using "live" very liberally :D
