ASCIIMoon is a small web app that tracks the moon's phases and uses ASCII art to create a basic visual representation of the moon's current appearance based on light percentage.

This is a personal project, and is in no way a precise representation.

This website uses the SunCalc library via a CDN to track the moonlight percentage.https://suncalc.net/.

The photo of the Moon used on this site is from NASA's archive: https://images.nasa.gov/details-PIA00405.

It was taken on December 7, 1992 by the Galileo on its way towards the Jupiter system.

Ascii art from the moon photo was generated thanks to https://manytools.org/hacker-tools/convert-images-to-ascii-art/.
