## Description

The Moon is a realistic, real-time Moon simulation that renders phases, libration, and orbital details (apogee/perigee) for any date and time. Use a time slider to animate the Moon or jump to specific events, view a full-year lunar calendar with precise times, and access detailed data like distance, angular size, altitude, and azimuth. An interactive Earth map shows the Moon’s current subpoint and lets you pick a location to see the parallactic angle from that viewpoint.

Designed for accuracy and ease of use, The Moon works offline across time zones, lets you take and share high-resolution screenshots, and can be set as a lightweight Android live wallpaper with minimal battery impact. The app is free to use and ideal for astronomy enthusiasts, educators, photographers, and anyone who wants a dependable lunar reference.
