Moonlet: Phase of the Moon Applet
by Akkana Peck
Edit the date in the text field to show the phase of the moon
at a different time.
Have a problem running this applet? Please see my
bug report page.
If you get a "Can't parse date" error, perhaps your
system timezone isn't set right;
setting it
may help. Or try editing the date field and typing in a date in a format like:
Dec 2 13:00 PST 1997 and see if that helps.
This is also available as part of a Zaurus
PDA package.

If you like the moon, you might want to check out my

the lunar observer, as well as links to other moon sites.
