:) That is a great idea. I have not seen this idea of zooming in and out of
a date range on a time slider much. It developed as a solution to the
question how to be able to track the sun over a day but also over the
seasons. The sun locations (above the horizon) should accurately correspond
to the picked time, at least on a smaller DEM.

I found myself lighting the ocean-free earth on my phone for an extended
period of time although I thought I know its shape pretty well ..

BTW, 'x' toggles the headlight.
