Moon Illumination phaseValue is not continuous

[jazztunes]

Problem

It appears that getMoonIllumination.phaseValue is not continuous.

As a test, I wrote a short program that prints out the phaseValue for each minute. Here you can see the phase value takes a big jump between 20:05 and 20:06. I would expect it to be a smooth transition from one minute to the next.

In terms of age, this about 3/4 of a day!

I hope I'm missing something.

Seems like phaseValue > angle changes from negative to +

const phaseValue = 0.5 + 0.5 * inc * (angle < 0 ? -1 : 1) / Math.PI;`

Needs different calculation?
