fraction: illuminated fraction of the moon; varies from 0.0 (new moon) to 1.0 (full moon)phase: moon phase; varies from 0.0 to 1.0, described belowangle: midpoint angle in radians* of the illuminated limb of the moon reckoned eastward from the north point of the disk;
the moon is waxing if the angle is negative, and waning if positive*In this site radian angles are converted to degrees (angle_in_radians * 180 / M_PI)
Moon phase value should be interpreted like this:
| Phase | Name |
|---|---|
| 0 | New Moon |
| Waxing Crescent | |
| 0.25 | First Quarter |
| Waxing Gibbous | |
| 0.5 | Full Moon |
| Waning Gibbous | |
