It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight. Lunar disc appears visually 8. There is low ocean tide today. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak. The Moon is 20 days old.

Our online calculator has already made all the complicated calculations so that you always know what the moon is now: its altitude above the horizon, azimuth angle, time of moonset and moonrise, percentage of illumination, angular diameter, moon phase, in what zodiac sign and in what constellations at the moment, as well as what are the lunar days.
Local time Universal time UTC Distance to Earth, mi , Moonrise , Moonset , Illumination Lunar day You can add this widget to your website. The oldest of the "lunar artifacts" found, is considered a small bone plate found in the cave of Abri Blanchard, in France, and dates from about 30, BC.
An engraving pattern of 69 serifs is engraved on it, which is supposedly a primitive lunar calendar. The lunar month will include 29 or 30 lunar days — this is the period of the reiteration of the same lunar phase, for example, from a new moon to a new moon. This time interval is called the synodic lunar month or synodic period.
But there are other types of lunar calendars: sidereal — the period of time during which the moon makes a complete turn around the earth, returning to its original position relative to the stars, while the moon phase does not play a role; anomalistic - the period between the passage of the moon by the perigee, in its movement around the Earth; the draconic lunar calendar uses periods of passage of the moon through the ascending node; tropical lunar month is the period of time during which the moon crosses the same longitude in the ecliptic coordinate system.
In the table below you can see the calendar of lunar days for october You can also create a lunar calendar by year and day for any period by clicking the time range button. The table includes information about what a lunar day is today, successive events of the moonrise and moonset, zenith and nadir, as well as the level of illumination.
With the help of the graph, you can determine and visually track the change in all parameters over time; to understand in what period of the year what time it is getting darker and darker; how many hours does a day of light in New York City and how its duration length or longitude varies.
To convert to a graph, all data is available - select the item of interest from the drop-down list and set the time range. Almost the entire lunar surface is covered with regolith — soil crushed by countless impacts of meteorites.
Surprisingly, during such a phase of the moon as the full moon, its brightness exceeds the brightness of the half moon by 11 times!
