Astronomy - Other moon items and expected results question #43

Description

@cahudson

Great library to start. Had a couple questions that maybe you could provide an example or thoughts on.

  1. Fracillum - Trying to get the illumination percentage at any point in time. I was thinking that the phase number (moon phase) 0-1 with .5 full would work but not finding that to match online. Any way to do or thoughts?

  2. Moon distance - thanks for the other discussion on the moon angle as I am going to add that to mine. Is there a way to use the Sin angle per hour to get the moon distance? I would like to get more often but hourly would be fine.

  3. Lastly when I run the sun_moon_test it looks like the sun rise/set and moon rise/set work well but it is popping up with four error numbers and a maximum error of 26873. Expect 0 on 64-bit platform, 30s on 32-bit. I see the list of exp for expected results but not following the use of this or if it is important in the execution of the test py file. By the way running on a raspberry pico w.

Error 1909
Error 405
Error 26873
Error 18378
Maximum error 26873. Expect 0 on 64-bit platform, 30s on 32-bit

thanks
