themorgantown / laser_pointed_from_the_moon.py
Last active April 2, 2024 01:56
You're standing on the moon, and you locked a laser into a tripod and pointed it at the Earth's equator. What shape does your laser make across the earth as the moon orbits the Earth? Taking into account the moon's wobble, libation, and eccentricities, this draws a wobbly line up and down the equator about 10% of the earth's height (I think).

# Ensure astropy.units is correctly imported and used

Show an emoji of the Moon based on the current date (works well with Sendy on a PHP server). An example of using this in a sendy template: `https://example.com/moonphase/moonphase/[currentmonthnumber]-[currentdaynumber]-[currentyear].png` Requires png files in the moon_phases directory with these filenames: waning_crescent.png first_quarter.png …
# place this in the folder 'moonphase' at the top level directory to load
# https://example.com/moonphase/moonphase/02-03-2024.png
RewriteEngine On
# Check if mod_rewrite is enabled
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Rewrite only if the request is for a moon phase image
RewriteRule ^moonphase/([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{4})\.png$ moonphase.php?month=$1&day=$2&year=$3 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
