[kgrqxduc] Astronomical time widget

A widget displays portion of the day, portion of the year as pie charts.  Maybe in decimal, too.

Maybe portion of lunar month, though I don't know if there is high precision (1 second resolution) information of when the new moon happens.  Perhaps cheat and display blurry phase.

Maybe measure day from dawn, year from vernal equinox.  (Counting from winter solstice, halfway from the crossing point, is an interesting analogue of counting from midnight.)

Maybe day of the year, factored.

App idea.  This should be an easy exercise.
