ABSTRACT
 The "PHASES OF THE MOON". It depicts a 2 Dimensional model of the moon in all its
different phases of the month. It shows the different images of the moon on all 30 different
days of the month, giving it a realistic look. User can also specify the day on which you want
to see how the moon looks like to get the image of just that particular day. The program starts
with a title on the screen mentioned as mention below: “MINI PROJEJECT ON THE
PHASES OF THE MOON”. On Clicking on the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON, the user is
provided with 2 options. First to get an animated version of the moon on all the different days
and the second option to manually select the day on which you want to view the phase of the
moon. The user can view the moon on different days of the month. This can be done by
selecting the day from the drop down sub menu specifying the days as Day 1, Day 2 up to
Day 30. The third option ‘Exit’ pops out of the program. The project is based on Simple
window coordinates and using recursive techniques in OpenGL.
