Phases of Meian's moons

Description

This is a simple representation of how Meian's two moons revolve around each other and the planet, along with the phases corresponding to their positions.

Whenever the moons align, a new moon (aka month) begins. A cycle (aka year) has 8 moons in total, with each phase named after one of the 8 Watchers. Every moon has 40 days (the small moon takes 40 days to revolve around the large moon). Every day has 8 hours, every hour has 100 minutes and every minute has 100 seconds.

To put it into perspective with earth, one full day on Meian takes approximately 22 earthly hours and 13 minutes, so days are slightly shorter. I made a whole spreadsheet with all the conversions a while ago xD Assuming seconds have the same length you can do the math for everything else as well.

Looks interesting! Not often I see astronomical systems depicted in full animation like this.
One little nitpick though - with the moons that close, Meian itself should likely be spinning around a barycentre slightly, like Pluto does with it's largest moon, Charon. That's only if you want to be super accurate about it though.

Keep it up!
