Lunar Cycle Tracker

About the Lunar Cycle Tracker

The Lunar Cycle Tracker is a free moon tool. Track the whole lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, day by day. It runs on the same NASA-grade math we use across the whole site, so every answer matches the real moon in the sky to within a few minutes. This lunar cycle tool is built to make the lunar cycle easy to follow for anyone, with no astronomy background needed.

Using the Lunar Cycle Tracker is simple. Pick any date with the date picker above (or leave it on today) and the widget updates instantly — no button to press, no page to reload. The tool works for any day in the past or the future, so you can check what the moon looked like on your birthday, what it will look like next year, or what it is doing right now. The moon cycle data is computed right inside your browser, which means it is fast and private.

Every moon tool on this site is free forever, with no signup and no app to install. We built the Lunar Cycle Tracker because we wanted lunar cycle to be as easy as glancing at a clock. If you find it useful, the related tools and calculators below cover every other question you might have about synodic cycle.
