@Mykle1 Ohh no:disappointed_but_relieved_face:

I found this very interesting.

“You’ve never seen the moon like in this ‘all terminator’ image (and you never will).”

"Shadows creep down the banks of every crater on the near-side of the moon, highlighting the pockmarked face of Earth’s gravitationally-bound buddy with a clarity never before seen.

According to photographer Andrew McCarthy, who posted the stunning image to his Instagram in April, there’s a simple explanation for the unprecedented level of detail in his work — this lunar view is actually “impossible.”

“This moon might look a little funny to you, and that’s because it is an impossible scene,” McCarthy wrote on Instagram. “From two weeks of images of the waxing moon, I took the section of the picture that has the most contrast … aligned and blended them to show the rich texture across the entire surface.”

The high-contrast section of the moon that McCarthy referred to is called the “lunar terminator” — the long line in the sand (or regolith, if you prefer) that divides the moon’s Earth-facing side between darkness and light. This terminator line moves around constantly depending on the phase of the moon, revealing or concealing new sections of the lunar surface each day. Because the terminator line heightens the contrast between the light and dark sides of the moon’s face, shadows look elongated and intensified in craters closest to the terminator.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your work on this addon.
I would like to hide the information about the distance to get just the image. I read carefully the README but I cannot find this configu trick.
Could you please tell me how ?

Here is my conf :

               {
                        disabled: false,
                        module: 'MMM-Lunartic',
                        position: 'top_center', // Best in left, center, or right regions
                        classes: 'scheduler',
                        config: {
                                module_schedule: {from: '0 21 * * *', to: '0 8 * * *' },
                                mode: "rotating", // rotating or static
                                image: "current", // animation, current, DayNight or static
                                distance: "km", // miles or km
                                sounds: "no", // howling wolf, only on a full moon
                                useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
                                /* header: "The Lunartic is in my head", // Any text you want*/
                                maxWidth: "200px",
                                animationSpeed: 10,
                                rotateInterval: 15000,
                        }
                },

Thanks for advance.

Yup. Glad you figured it out.

Update

The api is still down for both MMM-Lunartic and MMM-SunRiseSet. http://api.usno.navy.mil/

Their first announcement for a return to service was April 2020. The second announcement was revised to the Summer of 2020. I will keep checking. In the meantime, MMM-Lunartic still works with the temporary fix.

Peace

This is a quote from their website. Upper left of the page. https://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services

The USNO websites aa.usno.navy.mil, ad.usno.navy.mil, aristarchus.usno.navy.mil, maia.usno.navy.mil, rorf.usno.navy.mil, toshi.usno.navy.mil, and tycho.usno.navy.mil are undergoing modernization efforts. The expected completion of the work and the estimated return of service is Fall 2020, subject to change due to potential impacts of COVID-19.

I already feel a little sorry for the coronavirus. It always takes the blame for many things that cannot be done. [It’s a joke :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: ]

@Mykle1 Thanks for the News…hope it will work in 2021. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

trividar

@mykle1 Is this module working again or still down? thx

Zoltan

@trividar The module works fine if you use the moon pictures that comes with the installation (The temporary fix method). My country is blocked from the navy site so that never worked for me historically

trividar

@zoltan Thanks thank you for your answer, you are right the module works perfectly.
Just one more question, how can I set it up, that the information (just next full moon date) is unter the moon picture not on the left side inside the moon?

Thank you

Zoltan

@trividar I am not too sure on that one.
One thing that you can be on the lookout with this module is the following. There is two pictures missing if i remember correctly. You will have to edit your js file to fix this. just compare your available picture names with the names in the js file that is being called

cowboysdude

@trividar Still down…

Any updates or is there a way to pull from another source? Mine isn’t working…
