No event means no horizon crossing within that local calendar date, not necessarily an invisible Moon all day.
These are astronomical estimates, not a confirmed sighting. Weather is not included in this summary; check the live forecast or the sky. You can choose another place using the location control.
Precise local timestamps for when the Moon ascends above the eastern horizon, transits the meridian at highest altitude, and descends in the west.
As Earth rotates on its axis, the Moon orbits Earth eastward by approximately 13 degrees per day. For Earth to bring the observer back in line with the Moon, it must rotate an additional ~50 minutes, creating a daily forward shift in moonrise.
The displayed rise time uses the calculated astronomical horizon. A ridge or building to the east can delay the first sighting, while refraction and haze also affect visibility near the horizon.
The Moon moves roughly 13° eastward each day relative to the stars. Earth must rotate farther to face it again, producing an average delay near 50 minutes. The actual daily difference varies with orbit and location.
Use the hourly altitude rather than relying on moonrise alone. In a built-up skyline the Moon is usually easier to find after it has climbed several degrees.
