Lunar phase visualization tool for educators

Build an interactive tool that helps astronomy teachers explain the lunar terminator paradox visually. Schools and science communicators would pay for clear, engaging educational content.

Why now

With renewed interest in space education and lunar missions, there's demand for better teaching tools.

Who for
Astronomy educators
Business model
SaaS licensing
Effort
A few weeks

Astronomy teachers struggle to explain counterintuitive lunar concepts like why the terminator appears curved when viewed from Earth.

Create a web-based simulator with adjustable viewing angles and lighting to demonstrate lunar phases in real-time.

Schools and planetariums would license this for classroom use, while individual educators might pay for personal access.

The MVP could be a simple 3D web renderer with preset viewing scenarios.

Risk: Niche market with limited repeat customers unless expanded to broader astronomy topics.
