Hello everyone,
You may remember my PR that added a « Moon Phase » widget to the Gladys core (#2990). To avoid bloating the core, I turned it into an external integration: same calculations, same results, but installable only by those who want it.
@pierre-gilles, we can now close the PR
What the widget shows
- The phase of the day (New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon…), the illumination percentage and the age of the moon
- The lunar disk (NASA photo) with its illuminated part
- Moonrise and moonset at Gladys’s time
- Today: Earth-Moon distance, ascending/descending trajectory, constellation, next node
- Upcoming: full moon, new moon, perigee, apogee, and next lunar eclipse, with countdown and date (« In 5 days · Fri, Aug 28 »)
Zero configuration
No account, no key, no internet access: everything is calculated locally based on the position of your home. Just make sure the home is located (Settings → Homes).
Widget settings
- Home: empty = first located home, otherwise the name of the home
- Show details: the full list, or just phase + disk + rise/set
- Calculate values at midnight: to compare line by line with a lunar calendar
Available in French, English, and German. Requires Gladys 5.1.1 or later.
