+/**
+ Represents and manages a Lunar Phase
+
+ A Lunar Phase can be one of the following:
+
+ + "new": the moon is not visible; or traditionally: first visible
+ crescent of the Moon. For religious purposes, the new
+ month begins when the first crescent moon can be seen.
+ Thus, it is impossible to be certain in advance of when
+ months will begin; in particular, the exact date on which
+ Ramadan will begin is not known in advance. In Saudi Arabia,
+ observers are sent up in airplanes if the weather is cloudy
+ when the new moon is expected.
+ + "first quarter": the right 50% of the moon is visible.
+ + "full": the moon is fully visible.
+ + "last quarter": the left 50% of the moon is visible.
+
+ A very good description of the lunar phases can be read at the Wikipedia,
+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_phase
+
+ In the southern hemisphere the order of the phases is reversed.
+ So, to be accurate we need to know the hemisphere.
+
+ Note that crescent and gibbous phases are not currently supported.
