1. The point exactly midway along the Night portion of the sinusoidal curve is called Solar Midnight, and represents the time of day Sol is farthest below the horizon.

2. The point exactly midway along the Day portion of the sinusoidal curve is called Solar Noon, and represents the time of day Sol is farthest above the horizon.

3. The simulation is paused and the scene is augmented with informative data, various small, circular, marker points, three larger, colored, touch discs, Solar and Lunar Eclipse Probe controls, and a timer, which begins at +0:00, Now.

4. - Touching an Eclipse Probe control initiates a search for upcoming solar or lunar eclipses, and if one is visible from your location the You Drive simulator is temporarily reset to that date and the eclipse circumstances are displayed.

5. This means that if you are patient, very, very patient, you can watch Sol and Luna move! For those not so patient, touch above the horizontal horizon line and switch into manual, You Drive, mode (unavailable for the Today Extension and Screen Saver).

6. Of course, you must have Location Services enabled and allow Solar Coaster to access your position for accurate simulation results, and to properly detect eclipses visible at your location.

7. ⁃ The white markers represent the cardinal times of the day: Solar Midnight, Dawn, Sunrise, Noon, Solar Noon, Sunset, Dusk and Midnight.

8. An artificial, horizontal, horizon is drawn such that it intersects the curve at precisely two points, Sunrise and Sunset.

9. Touching a marker displays its time (unavailable for the Today Extension and Screen Saver).

10. Touching either Sol or Luna displays a tiny bit of additional realtime information (unavailable for the Today Extension and Screen Saver).
