Upcoming moon phases
Phase times are the same worldwide (the Moon's phase is a global quantity), shown here in Canberra's local time. Moonrise, moonset, and the live position are specific to this location and computed for sea level with standard refraction. The Moon is bright enough to wash out faint stars from roughly first quarter through last quarter, especially around the full moon — the darkest skies for stargazing fall near the new moon.
