Celestial Lunar Phase Widget

Celestial Lunar Phase Widget helps WordPress sites display the current moon phase in a polished astronomy card.

The plugin shows:

  • Current lunar phase name
  • Moonrise time
  • Moonset time
  • Illumination percentage
  • Bundled moon phase image matched to the returned phase
  • Optional location label
  • Optional WeatherAPI credit line

It includes both a classic shortcode and a Gutenberg block, so site owners can add lunar data in the editor or in traditional content areas.

Ideal for

  • Astronomy and space science websites
  • Observing clubs and public outreach pages
  • Weather and nature blogs
  • Classroom and education sites
  • Hobbyist websites that want a live moon phase widget

Key features

  • Shortcode: [celestial_lunar_phase_widget]
  • Gutenberg block: Celestial Lunar Phase Widget
  • Eight bundled moon phase photos packaged locally
  • Default location and title settings
  • 12-hour or 24-hour time display
  • Per-location and per-date caching for better performance
  • No visitor geolocation in the browser, so your API key stays server-side
