MMM-Lunartic

Up to the minute information about our Lunar partner, with a splash of EyeCandy, to boot!

How it works

First, you have three choices of images to accompany the data.

• A rather impressive animation of the night moon, with clouds rolling by
• Updating minutely, an image of the actual appearance of the current moon
• A static image of all the phases of the moon

Then you are offered updated information every minute, such as:

• The distance of the moon from the Earth's core at this moment. (Changes minutely)
• This distance of the moon to the sun at this moment. (Changes minutely)
• The date of the next full moon. (Very important if you're a werewolf!)
• The date of the next new moon. (Also very important if you're a werewolf!)
• The age of the current moon's monthly phase.
• Percentage of the current moon that is illuminated.
• The stage of the present moon (waning, waxing, etc..)

Examples

The moon will be animated. See picture below.

• The animation can be hidden if only the information is wanted.

* This can be hidden

* To show only this, or vice versa, showing just the image

• Or, Updating minutely, an image of the actual appearance of the current moon

• Now an option for rotating data to conserve mirror real estate

• Annotated .css file included for aligning and coloring text and header.

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-Lunartic into the ~/MagicMirror/modules directory.

• cd into the MMM-Lunartic folder and run npm install

• No API key needed! (It's my API) No kidding!
