Astronomical calculations

Astronomy Engine v2.1.19 by Don Cross, under the MIT License, runs locally in 华光显. The complete copyright and license notice is included. Calendar and stem–branch implementations also reference 6tail’s lunar project under the MIT License; its full notice is included.

Stars and Chinese asterisms

Stellar coordinates come from ESA (1997), The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues, CDS/VizieR I/239. Chinese asterism names and lines come from the Stellarium Chinese sky culture by Karrie Berglund / Digitalis Education Solutions and Sun Shuwei, under CC BY-SA 4.0. 华光显 selects asterisms that match its star catalog, associates HIP coordinates and restructures the data. These derived cultural data remain under CC BY-SA 4.0; source and modification details are included.

Body imagery

Earth imagery: NASA GSFC / Blue Marble. Moon imagery: NASA SVS / LROC. Sun texture: Solar System Scope / INOVE, CC BY 4.0, used without modifying the original image. Attribution does not imply endorsement of 华光显 by these organizations.

Cultural references and app content

References for Learn are available in each lesson’s sources section. Classical quotations, third-party data and imagery are subject to their applicable rights or licenses. Rights in the 华光显 name, interface and original editorial content are reserved by their respective rights holders; this statement does not restrict rights granted by third-party open licenses.
