Moon Calendar

Returns the first three evenings after a new Moon with a crescent sighting verdict (likely, difficult or not visible) for each of 24 UK places, with sunset, moonset, Moon age, height and best viewing time. It covers the latest new Moon until its third evening is over, then the next one.

Returns the dates and UK times of upcoming full, new, first quarter and last quarter Moons, with each full Moon's traditional name, its distance, and supermoon, blue Moon, micromoon and black Moon flags. Special Moons can be listed on their own.

Returns the Moon's phase, percent lit, lunar age, distance from Earth and waxing or waning direction right now, at 12:00 UK time on a date, or at a UK clock time on a date. Also returns whether it is a full Moon, the next full and new Moon, and at a UK place that date's moonrise, highest point and moonset, the Moon's height and compass bearing, and whether it is above the horizon after dark. Times are UK time, GMT or BST.

Returns every day of one UK calendar month with its Moon phase and percent lit at 12:00 UK time, plus the exact UK times of that month's new, first quarter, full and last quarter Moons.

Returns the Moon's zodiac sign right now, on a UK date or at a UK date and time, tropical or Lahiri sidereal, with the degree into the sign, the next sign change and the website's one-line meaning of the sign. With a date alone it returns every sign the Moon is in that day.

Returns the dates and UK times of spring tides (new and full Moons) and neap tides (first and last quarter Moons) from the Moon's phases, in date order, with the next spring tide and next neap tide first and perigean spring tides flagged. These are tide dates, not times or heights for a port.

Returns upcoming solar and lunar eclipses in date order with the UK peak time, the kind of eclipse and what the UK sees of it, including London contact times, coverage or totality where the Sun or Moon is above the horizon. With a place, each eclipse also shows that place's start, maximum and end, the share of the Sun covered or the Moon's height.

Returns the nights of one UK month with a dark-sky window, when the Sun is more than 18° below the horizon and the Moon is down, at one of 24 UK places, with each night's window times, hours and Moon phase. For photography it returns each night's Moon window, when the Moon is at least 5° up while the Sun is more than 6° below the horizon. Times are UK time, GMT or BST.
