#### Moon Data the Anglo Saxon way

The Moon's Mona (sidereal month), Monaþ (synodic month) and hue (lunar phase), computed with Meeus algorithms, according to the Anglo Saxon lunar calendar described by Bede (sans Mona).

Introduces the idea of the sidereal month as the Mona alongside the Monaþ (synodic month), and Moon hue (lunar phase). The Mona is a personal invention of mine and is based out of an interpretation of the Nebra Sky Disc through the lens of a norse sidereal calendar proposed by Vaster Guðmundsson.

The positions come from PyMeeus, a Python port of the algorithms in Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms, 2nd ed.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install moonrime

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
