I enjoy you sun program very much.  I would like to see a similar
one for the moon, maybe moon(1).  It would tell you where the moon
is, its phase, etc.  I figured it would be easier for you since you
probably have the calculations handy.  Along with the moon program,
you could maybe put information about the tides as well since these
are related to the moon and most of the information would be at hand
in the program to perform these extra calculations as well.  This is
just a suggestion but it would be another nice thing to have.

Maybe if this catches on, some hardware person could make a weather box
with an RS232C interface.  You could login with the time, temp, sun, and
moon information.  Maybe even the local forecast, 8-).  Anyway, I hope
you take my suggestion.
