Moon phase today, sunrise and sunset
Moon calendar for
Phase at midday each day.
How it works
The moon phase is how much of the Moon's sunlit side we see from Earth. A full cycle (new → full → new) takes about 29.5 days. We calculate the Sun's and Moon's positions in your browser with standard astronomical formulas (Meeus), so it keeps working offline once loaded.
Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun's upper edge touches the horizon, allowing for normal atmospheric refraction, in the chosen city's local time.
