How To Install and Use the Moon Data Addon

Last Updated: October 2, 2023

Would you like to display the current moon’s illumination percentage and the current moon’s age on your event card? The Moon Data addon makes this possible and allows the display of current and next moon data.

The addon will display the following moon phases according to your event date:

  • New Moon, 
  • First Quarter, 
  • Full Moon,
  • Last Quarter,
  • Waxing Crescent, 
  • Waxing Gibbous, 
  • Waning Gibbous,
  • Waning Crescent

The percentage illumination represents how much of the Moon’s disk is lit, as seen from earth.
