gSky Digest is a small and practical software solution that comes in handy for both astrology lovers and professional stargazers to read detailed information about the Moon, Sun, sky and seven other planets and the events that might occur, like Moon phases, sunset, sunrise, apogeum or conjunctions.

Once the setup is finished the app is sent to the system tray, where it stays quietly until a major event is up. Make sure you have Java installed on the drive, as it's required for the tool to run.

From the tray icon, you can bring the main panel up, where you have to set up your current location by selecting the country and city.

Then the program fetches all the relevant information and displays it in a well-organized and simple layout. The planets, Sun and Moon are structured into a tree system, along with the upcoming events panel at the bottom of the window.

It's possible to view the Sun sunset and sunrise hours, along with the Moon's moonrise and moonset. Plus, gSky Digest shows the day length and phase. Clicking on a specific element from the list, you can view more detailed information.

For example, you have the option to read about the Moon's altitude, distance, constellation, angular diameter, visual brightness and libration longitude and latitude. In the event list, you can check the new moon, last quarter, ascending node, apogeum or perigeum are about to occur.

gSky Digest displays similar data for the solar system's planets, like Mercury, Mars, Venus, Pluto or Jupiter. Last but not least, from the options, you can add and manage multiple places, and enable the real-time notifications.

On an ending note, gSky Digest is a simple yet intuitive application designed to offer professional data about the Sun, Moon and the solar system's planets, such as sunset, sunrise, moonset, moonrise, full moon, apogeum, perigeum or ascending node.
