It returns the phase as a string, e.g., % "new", "full", etc. % % In the algorithm: % % diy Is the day of the year - 1 (i.e., Jan 1 is day 0). % % golden Is the number of the year in the Mentonic cycle, used to % determine the position of the calender moon. % % epact Is the age of the calender moon (in days) at the beginning % of the year. To calculate epact, two century-based % corrections are applied: % Gregorian: (3 * cent)/4 - 12 % is the number of years such as 1700, 1800 when % leap year was not held. % Clavian: (((8 * cent) + 5) / 25) - 5 % is a correction to the Mentonic cycle of about % 8 days every 2500 years. Note that this will % overflow 16 bits in the year 409600. Beware. % % The algorithm is accurate for the Gregorian calender only. % % The magic numbers used in the phase calculation are as follows: % 29.5 The moon's period in days. % 177 29.5 scaled by 6 % 22 (29.5 / 8) scaled by 6 (this gets the phase) % 11 ((29.5 / 8) / 2) scaled by 6 % % Theoretically, this should yield a number in the range 0 .. 7. However, % two days per year, things don't work out too well. % % Epact is calculated by the algorithm given in Knuth vol. 1 (calculation % of Easter).
