Need some help with moon animation.
No moon visible for me.

Are you saying the module runs but you get no image of the moon? Or are you saying you are not getting the animated moon?

Kindly use a code block when you paste code, as such.

{
          module: 'MMM-Lunartic',
          position: 'bottom_center', // Best in left, center, or right regions
          config: {
              mode: "rotating", // rotating or static
              image: "animation", // animation, current, DayNight or static
              distance: "km", // miles or km
              sounds: "yes", // 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: "300px",
              animationSpeed: 0,
        }
      },

Notice: image: "animation",

@mykle1 i do not get any picture of the moon.
Only text.
I tried, current, animation and daynight.
When i choose static i see all pictures of the moon and when i choose animation i see full moon with the animating clouds.
Current is the setting i would like to use
Sorry for pasting the config part.

Please try this url in a browser. It’s the url to the current moon image provided by the US NAVY. I suspect that if you live outside the U.S. that it might not work.

http://api.usno.navy.mil/imagery/moon.png?date=today&time=now

And the url to the Day/Night map

Please report

No worries. I wanted to see your config. It’s just easier to read when it’s in a code block. Don’t you agree?

@mykle1 Unfortunately you are right. Web pages does not work.

Traceroute tells me that they are firewalled

Since we are only talking about the image url, perhaps we can work around it. Here’s where you get to do some work. If you can find another url that offers current images of the moon and works for users outside the US, I will incorporate into the module based on the config language.

Fun Moon Fact
We all know there was a man on the moon, but did you know that there is one who stayed there? Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, a Geological Surveyor, who educated the Apollo mission astronauts about craters, never made it into space himself, but it had always been one of his dreams. He was rejected as an astronaut because of medical problems. After he died, his ashes were placed on board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft on January 6, 1999, which was crashed into a crater on the moon on July 31, 1999. The mission was to discover if there was water on the moon at the time, but it also served to fulfill Dr Shoemaker’s last wish.
