Possible to get moon phase in precentage? #1

Thank you for your work on this!

Would it be possible to get a numeric percentage value for the moon's phase?

The integration provides an illumination fraction sensor that shows the percentage of the moon’s surface that is illuminated. While it doesn’t directly give a percentage for the moon’s phase, the illumination fraction closely matches the phase..

So, for example: If the illumination fraction sensor shows that the moon’s surface is 95.3% illuminated, it indicates that the moon is in the Waxing Gibbous phase, close to being a Full Moon. The illumination fraction gives you a numeric percentage that helps you understand the moon’s phase more precisely.

• 0% illumination corresponds to a New Moon. • 50% illumination corresponds to the First Quarter or Last Quarter. • 100% illumination corresponds to a Full Moon.
