Asteroid Impact Energy

Calculate the kinetic energy and destructive potential of an asteroid impact from diameter, velocity, and density. Estimates crater size and earthquake equivalent.

simple

Astrophotography Exposure

Calculate the maximum untracked exposure time to avoid star trails using the NPF rule, 500 rule, and declination correction.

simple

Binary Star Orbit

Calculate the total mass of a binary star system from orbital period and semi-major axis using Kepler's Third Law.

simple

Exoplanet Habitability Score

Calculate the Earth Similarity Index (ESI) for an exoplanet based on radius, density, escape velocity, and surface temperature relative to Earth.

simple

Hubble's Law Calculator

Calculate recession velocity and distance from cosmological redshift using Hubble's Law. Includes lookback time, scale factor, and relativistic corrections.

simple

Light Travel Time

Calculate how long light takes to travel a given distance. Enter distance in AU or km and get travel time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or years.

simple

Solar Eclipse Timing

Calculate solar eclipse duration and umbral shadow diameter from Moon and Sun distances. Determines eclipse type, angular sizes, and maximum totality duration.

simple

Star Magnitude Calculator

Calculate absolute magnitude from apparent magnitude and distance using the distance modulus formula. Includes luminosity ratio and parallax.

simple

Telescope Limiting Magnitude

Calculate the faintest star visible through a telescope based on aperture and sky brightness conditions.

simple

Telescope Magnification

Calculate telescope magnification, true field of view, exit pupil, and resolution from focal length, eyepiece, and apparent field of view.
