Moon Phases

ThreeRTFirst-party

About

An orrery of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon (not to scale) with the Sun as its only light. The Moon’s lit half, the phase seen from the ground, the Moon’s shadow crossing the Earth and the Earth’s shadow putting the Moon out are not scripted: they fall out of where the three bodies are.

Remix

This package carries its source. The command makes a project from it on your Mac, with a prompt for your coding agent; Remix in ThreeRT for macOS does the same.
