## Description

Lunar Phase is a comprehensive lunar calendar Chrome extension designed to provide detailed moon phase and eclipse information from 2001 through 2100. Users receive notifications for upcoming phases, solar and lunar eclipses, and can explore a synodic cycle viewer to study lunar month variations over decades.

The extension offers a quick glance at the current moon phase with visible percentage, age, distance, and zodiac constellation. It also identifies special events such as super moons, micro moons, and eclipses with visual indicators. Named full moons, local moonrise/set times, azimuth, and altitude are displayed based on user location for hemisphere-accurate views. Additionally, the app includes detailed daily views, a lunar calendar with all major lunar events, and interactive eclipse maps with countdowns. Users can customize notification preferences and select units for distance measurements, making it a powerful tool for moon enthusiasts and astronomers alike.
