For those interested, here is a spreadsheet with the moon phases and percent illumination from now until December 2020. The times are CST.
I have put it in my database and am in the process of writing a php script to attach to my Weather page.
Here is a sample. The percentage is at midnight. Added Rise/Set.
I just realized that changing latitudes affects the rise/set time significantly, so i have included my worksheet.
I got the data from here. -->
