Show HN: Live Sun and Moon Dashboard with NASA Footage

I did not anticipate having a screensaver project on my bingo card on this day in 2026 but it is now so!

I am guessing that most people would want to see the Sun videos for a screen saver, maybe a random wavelength on each screensaver instance? I will make an opensource repo to it that works on desktop-anything with a little GUI for user settings/preferences.

EDIT: Or did you all mean basically replicating the site as it is but as like a dashboard screensaver? Thank you for all the feedback!

I meant the whole page with the four sections, but maybe also enable any specific part as well would be cool.

Hmm I will think on this. An open source desktop widget could recreate the screensaver function, triggering on X minutes of inactivity, then minimize upon any user activity. I'll play around and see!
