Happy Labour Day,

For your consideration is a rendering of the Moon with changing Lunar phases, Earth-Moon distance, and librations all in ASCII. The inspiration was asciimoon.com that previously appeared on HN but did not accurate phases.

Yep, I remember it was a nice project and everyone was complaining about the shape of the dark part. In your version it's accurate.
