Moon Phase widget for Windows
The current phase shown on a real photograph of the moon, shaded to tonight's exact phase, or as a clean minimal drawing if you prefer. You get the illumination percentage, how many days into the cycle you are, when it rises and sets where you live, and the dates of the next new, quarter and full moons. It flips the view for the southern hemisphere, and can tell you when the full moon arrives.
