Notes/features/To be done

takes a while for the images to load

bodies are magnified 20x for top view visualization

the observer is always at the point on the earth's surface directly below the moon

need to put in a button for the next day, make the time jump variable( something like hour,day,week)

put in background stars?

the moon's orbit is not inclined wrt the earth's orbit.

is there a better way to get across the position of the sun?

with some work could make the shadow look more realistic.

include atmosphere ( so that you could tell when it is daytime)?
