Plan around moonrise and moonset
Moonrise and moonset vary with both location and date. The monthly table shows the local times, total time above the horizon, phase and illuminated fraction. Select a day to see its details and export the month to your calendar.
Why is a moonrise or moonset missing?
A crossing may occur on the previous or next local date. Near the poles, the Moon can also remain above or below the horizon all day. “No event” never means midnight. Above-horizon time includes portions that cross midnight and follows the actual length of the local date.
Will I be able to see the Moon?
These are approximate times when the Moon's upper edge crosses a level horizon, using sea level and standard atmospheric refraction. Terrain, buildings, elevation, clouds and daylight affect visibility. A Moon above the horizon is not necessarily visible.
Time zones, dates and sources
Times use the city's IANA time zone and this browser's time-zone data, including daylight-saving changes. A skipped local date is marked unavailable. Supported dates are 1900–2100; future time-zone laws may change. City coordinates come from GeoNames. Calculations use locally hosted, MIT-licensed Astronomy Engine; lunar reference checks use US Naval Observatory data. Times are rounded to minutes.
