TERRACHRONE produces a continually updating graphical representation
of the daylight and nighttime regions of the Earth projected on a map of the world. In addition to the shaded night time regions, TERRACHRONE indicates the sub-solar and sub-vernal equinoctal points with the usual astronomical symbols. The longitude which corresponds to 0 hours siderial time is also indicated on the graphic and displayed in a text region. In addition, the text region presents the current Universal Time, and the local siderial time for an observer at a specific location on the Earth.
TERRACHRONE will run on any Macintosh computer, or other platform
running the Macintosh Operating System, or Macintosh Application
Environment. A native PowerPC version of TERRACHRONE, called
TERRACHRONE PPC is available. To start TERRACHRONE just double click
on the TERRACHRONE icon.
Please see the HELP item in the TERRACHRONE menu for more
