How this almanac works

An almanac that does the arithmetic in your browser: the Moon’s phase, the eclipses to come and the planets above your horizon.

Every figure on this site is computed, not copied. Phases, rise and set times, planet positions and eclipse contacts come from Astronomy Engine, an open-source library accurate to about one arcminute, running on your own device. That is why the answers match your position without an account, and why your location never reaches a server.

The pages are built for looking up one thing quickly: is the Moon full tonight, when does it rise, how long does totality last in my town. Each page then explains how the number is obtained, so you can check it against an observatory almanac.
