Track Moon Phases and Sunrise Sunset Times

Moon phase and day length are surprisingly relevant to dozens of activities that have nothing obvious to do with astronomy. Photographers need to know when the golden hour falls and whether the moon will be full. Gardeners following lunar planting calendars need accurate phase dates. Anglers know fish behaviour changes with the moon. Hunters need to know when moonlight will help or hinder them. Filmmakers scouting for night shoots need to know when the moon rises and how bright it will be.

The moon_phase and sun_and_moon_times skills return precise phase information, percentage illumination, moonrise and moonset, and civil, nautical, and astronomical twilight times for any location and date. No approximations — actual calculated values.

Photographers planning the perfect moonrise shot behind a landmark, farmers timing planting by the lunar calendar, event organisers planning outdoor evening events, and wildlife professionals scheduling fieldwork all rely on this data for precise timing.
