Happy Labour Day,

For your consideration is a rendering of the Moon with changing Lunar phases, Earth-Moon distance, and librations all in ASCII. The inspiration was asciimoon.com that previously appeared on HN but did not accurate phases.



Relevant post about the other project https://asciimoon.com/ "ASCIIMoon: The moon's phase live in ASCII art" (asciimoon.com) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44432571 (270 points | 61 days ago | 82 comments)

Yep, I remember it was a nice project and everyone was complaining about the shape of the dark part. In your version it's accurate.
