How to Let Time Tell You

Look at your calendar, if you have one handy. Pretty boring, right? Check out this new app, ECOcal – now available in iTunes. It’ll make your day (or year, potentially).

The calendar runs in a linear fashion, and shows what’s going on in nature at that time of year. With beautiful pictures and fun facts about nature, the calendar changes during each season. This calendar is five years in the making. It started out as a wall calendar, detailing things about the moon phases, where each planet is in conjunction to the moons and constellations, and so forth.

ECOcal is an immersive daily calendar of the Earth and sky with extensive scientific information about astronomical and terrestrial events. Instead of a grid-based calendar, ECOcal shows the days running from left to right, with tides, flora and fauna then the sky and stars represented above.

  • Scroll through the Sky Chart to find out when the next meteor shower will peak or when there is going to be a lunar eclipse.
  • Zoom in on a constellation to see the magnitude of a star.
  • Tap on the richly detailed images of animals and plants to read about how they adapt to winter’s cold or summer’s heat.

This is a very cool App. There’s honestly nothing else like it available. I have it on my iPhone – do you have it on yours?
