Original release notes
Sky events, and a few more ways to explore. • Sky events: a new tile in Explore shows what is coming in the sky — eclipses, planets at opposition, meteor showers, the solstices — and flies you there. Turn on alerts to hear about them: up to three a day, never at night, worked out on your iPhone. • Watch the Moon's shadow cross Earth during an eclipse, or stand on Titan and look up at Saturn. • Weigh yourself: see what you would weigh on every planet, moon and the Sun. • Explore: one glass panel for everything a world can do. • Ask Orrery: ask about any world and get answers that stay on your iPhone. It needs an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, on iOS 26), so it is not available on every phone or in every language. • A tidier Orrery Pro page, and many small fixes.
