Earth, Sun, Moon, and Planets
Tools to calculate the positions of the sun, moon, and planets when viewed from directly overhead for a particular date and time. It displays solar and lunar information for a coordinate at the specified date and time. (Note the Python library dependencies.)
This plugin requires two Python libraries not provided by the QGIS distribution. Open up the OSGeo4W Shell and type "pip install timezonefinder skyfield" or whatever method you use to install Python libraries. You don't need to be a system administrator to do this.

If anyone knows how to calculate the day/night/twilight terminator lines/polygons using accurate methods with the skyfield library, please let me know. i would like to add that algorithm to this plugin.
