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.

And the url to the Day/Night map

Please report

Sorry for pasting the config part.

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

@pr05t3n

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.
