From the about page... https://asciimoon.com/about/ > ASCIIMoon is a small web app that tracks the moon's phases and uses ASCII art to create a basic visual representation of the moon's current appearance based on light percentage. > This is a personal project, and is in no way a precise representation. https://www.moongiant.com/phase/today/ is what it should look like. The moon for July 2nd should be something that is a half circle illuminated and a half circle in the dark. The image on asciimoon shows a circle occluding the moon where it appears that the circle occluding the moon's edge is at 50%. I'd have to sit down and do the math, but there is way more than 51.79% illuminated in today's rendering. While I recognize that this is a personal project and not a precise representation... it has a fair amount of work to do to make it so that the correct percentage is illuminated. This does have some interesting JavaScript and css tricks... but it needs some more math done. |
