About the Moonrise & Moonset

The Moonrise & Moonset is a free moon tool. Estimate the time the moon rises and sets in your part of the world. 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 moonrise tool is built to make the lunar cycle easy to follow for anyone, with no astronomy background needed.

Using the Moonrise & Moonset 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 moonset 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 Moonrise & Moonset because we wanted moonrise to be as easy as glancing at a clock.
