🌓 Moon Phases from Earth: Terminator, Earthshine, Libration and Orbit Nodes
A Kepler-ellipse Moon with a tilted, regressing orbit lights up a Cycles-baked lunar globe under a real Sun direction; the inset shows the Moon seen from Earth with libration, supermoon size change, earthshine and hemisphere orientation, checked by counting lit pixels against the closed-form phase.
