LIGHT-TIME SEXTANT
A native SwiftUI app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac lives in this repository — ready for TestFlight and App Store workflows.
See the cosmos as it truly is — not as its light claims it was.
Correct for the speed of light. Launch rockets on true trajectories.
Then... go quantum and meet the dinosaurs.
Where the Sun appears to be right now. This is the light that left the Sun 8 minutes and 19 seconds ago.
Where the Sun actually is at this very moment. TimelyUNA reveals the truth the naked eye cannot see.
Because Earth is moving in its orbit, by the time the Sun’s light reaches us, the Sun has already moved forward. The difference is small (~2°), but it matters for precision navigation, astronomy, and truth.
The rocket flies to the actual position — correcting for light delay in real time.
By using (theoretically) quantum entanglement to instantaneously relocate our vantage point 65 million light-years away, we can look back across the gulf of space and time. The light that left Earth 65 million years ago is only now reaching that distant point. A sufficiently advanced quantum telescope could therefore observe the dinosaurs in their own era.
TimelyUNA is a living concept — a light-time sextant that reveals the true positions of stars and planets by correcting for the finite speed of light, with playful extensions into deep-time observation and guided rocket navigation. The web demo below ships alongside a native SwiftUI app for the Apple ecosystem.
If you are a developer who dreams in photons and code, a designer who sees beauty in time itself, or someone who simply believes the invisible should be made visible — the door is open. The universe doesn’t wait. Neither should we.
