I'm not going to use GitHub Pages after all, because it is causing more problems than it is helping. All I really wanted was a way to host live JavaScript browser examples. I will find my own way of hosting just those. The main problem is that GitHub pages uses a different flavor of Markdown than GitHub. This makes it really difficult to get something that works right across both. In general, it doubles how much stuff I have to look at when I make a cosmetic change. So I have already turned off GitHub Pages on this repo, and this commit removes all links and references to it.

moonphase.js - by Don Cross - 2019-05-13
|
|
|
|
Example Node.js program for Astronomy Engine:
|
|
https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy
|
|
|
|
This program calculates the Moon's phase for a given date and time,
|
|
or the computer's current date and time if none is given.
|
|
It also finds the dates and times of the subsequent 10 quarter phase changes.
|
|
|
|
To execute, run the command:
|
|
node moonphase [date]
|
|
