Developer’s Description

By Greg Hewgill
Display Julian date and local sidereal time on your desktop.
Displays the current Local Apparent Sidereal Time (LAST), used in astronomy. This is the time according to the stars (sidereal) instead of the sun (solar), so this time does not match the current time of day. The current Julian date is also displayed. Set your correct longitude in the widget preferences in order to display the proper local sidereal time. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
