        Let me put it this way. If you stared at the moon all night would you see any changes? Very unlikely. So, although the image updates, you won’t see much difference in the incremental changes. Also, would you notice the difference between a moon that is 56% illuminated and a moon that is 57% illuminated. I think you get my point.

        This is where the image comes from

          YES!!! By Golly, I do see the difference!!! I stare at the moon Every Night!!!

          No, I understand what you’re saying, but with the changes over a 28 day period, like from the beginning of the full moon phase to the beginning of the next full moon phase, you would think you could see a difference at least on a nightly basis.

          Yeah, I see where it comes from in the code…
          ( I study these codes everyone puts out for their modules, helps me relearn…)

            And you will, unless the image being provided by the US Navy isn’t being updated at the source

              Any idea how often it gets updated?
              just curious!

                Dunno. Ask the joint Chiefs of Staff. ;-)
