John Walker's moontool.c astronomical calculation routines, extracted.

## Original

The original versions, [moontool](https://www.fourmilab.ch/moontool/)
and [moontoolw](https://www.fourmilab.ch/moontoolw/), are available at
John Walker's [fourmilab.ch](https://www.fourmilab.ch/).

Backup copies are included in the [`original/`](./original/) directory
of this repository.

John Walker's Moontool

## License

Walker's program is in the public domain, and so is this project.

In Walker's words:

> Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

## Usage

To use the astronomical calculation routines, include `moon.h` and link
against C's standard math library (`-lm`).

It is C code, but can be used as-is in C++ projects[^cpp].

If in doubt, take a look at how the CLI is built in the
[`Makefile`](./Makefile).

[^cpp]:
A C++ version of the CLI is available at
[2df0bde](https://github.com/qrichert/moontool/blob/2df0bdef6d898bff955ea360075c20900af4c025/main.cpp).

## CLI

This version includes functions that print out info about the Moon, in a
way similar to the original program.

The CLI wraps these functions[^cli].

[^cli]:
The C version of the CLI is a demo more than anything. The
[Rust version](#ports-to-other-languages) has more functionality.

Run `make` and execute the resulting `moontool` program in the `build/`
directory.

You can run it bare for real-time data, pass it a datetime string or a
Unix timestamp (negative values allowed).

Use `-h` option for help.

To install it, run `make && sudo make install`.

## Others

### Ports to Other Languages

- [`others/rust/`](./others/rust) A port to Rust.
- [`others/python/`](./others/python) A port to Python.

The C and Python versions stick as closely as possible to the original.

The Rust version takes some liberties to provide a nicer API (the
calculations do no change however). It also exposes the Moon's ecliptic
longitude, ecliptic latitude, and parallax, and the Sun's ecliptic
longitude. All four of which are calculated in the original, but the
values are never used.

The Rust version also includes additional features and an augmented CLI.

### And Also

This repo [also includes](./others):

- `moonsim.sh` A shell script that simulates a lunation.
- `webmoon.py` A simple Python script that serves the CLI over the web.
