EphemPulse

EphemPulse is a mobile + web app that turns raw planetary ephemeris and mission data into a simple daily feed: conjunctions, oppositions, occultations, favorable imaging windows, and spacecraft milestones. Most planetary-science content is either too academic (papers) or too shallow (social posts). EphemPulse sits in the middle: it gives you the “what, when, where to look, and why it matters” with citations and links to primary sources. Users can set location, gear level (naked eye/binoculars/telescope/imager), and interests (Mars weather, Jupiter moons, Saturn rings, NEO flybys). It also provides quick context cards (e.g., “why this occultation helps refine an asteroid’s shape”) and a calendar export for observation planning. This is not a lab-grade analysis tool; it’s a practical briefing and planning companion for enthusiasts, educators, and outreach teams.
