Daily Moon Phase

Moonrise & moonset for the UK
The moon on any date

A birthday, an anniversary, a night you are planning for. Anything between 1900 and 2100. Rise and set times use the city chosen on the left.

How far back does this go?

The range is deliberately capped at 1900–2100. The series this site uses hold to well under a minute across that span; push them centuries further and the errors grow to the point where a printed figure would be misleading. If you need a date outside it, you want a full ephemeris rather than a web page.

One caution on very old dates: British clocks have not always run as they do now. Times here are GMT or BST under the modern rules, so for dates before 1972 — and especially during the double-summer-time years of the Second World War — the clock reading of the day may differ from what is shown.
