‘Phases of Moon’ Brings Lunar Tracking to GNOME Shell
Quoting: 'Phases of Moon' Brings Lunar Tracking to GNOME Shell - OMG! Ubuntu —
Clicking on its panel icon shows a large illuminated moon synced to the current phase, and details on when the next lunar phase is due.
I took a look at the Luna extension earlier this year, a similarly-purposed applet the astronomically minded will appreciate. Alas, it’s been having issues of late.
Phases of Moon is a solid alternative, and unlike desktop apps or a websites that can tell you the same info but requires you to switch from what you’re doing, Phases of Moon lives in your top bar, always visible (bar rare occasions – a bit like like the real deal).
The icon in the panel relays the current lunar phase directly, but the popup shows the phase name, illumination percentage, the age of the active phase, and a countdown (in days, hours and minutes) until the next lunar phase or event.
