moon icon files to display moon phases, as a .zip file
Classic scandian date methodology -- each week is a Scandian
month. Earth's Monday - Friday get four Scandian days each, whereas weekends - Saturday
and Sunday - get five Scandian Days each. Thus all Scandian nonths are thirty days long.
The lunar month is figured as 29 days long. The script can display little moon-phase images.
The script depends on the date on the computer of the viewer, so things will be off a bit
across earth. That never bothered us before.
I wrote a similar script for Aurora to run at 2X Earth, using earth's calendar. In that
scheme the months have their familiar lengths, and leap years even happen properly. I
could just as easily modify that to display Scandia's date at our present (or any other) rate.
