Moon Phase Calendar

What it does

Moon Phase Calendar is a weather app for checking the Moon’s current phase, illumination and upcoming lunar events. It suits casual moon watchers, amateur astronomers and anyone planning outdoor activities or photography around moonlight, sunrise and sunset.

Moon and Sun information

The app presents the lunar cycle across past and future dates, including full moon, new moon, first quarter and last quarter. It also shows practical measurements such as moon age, distance, luminance, rise and set times, vertical angle and azimuth. Solar information includes dawn, dusk, sunrise, sunset, golden hour and blue hour.

• Browse the Moon’s cycle by scrolling through dates.
• Check the next full moon or new moon from the main screen.
• Use the Moon and Sun positions as a reference for observation or outdoor photography.

Weather and planning tools

Weather details include daily and hourly forecasts, cloud cover, chance of rain and visibility. These conditions are useful alongside the Moon data when deciding whether a night is suitable for stargazing or photography. The app also provides a moon-observing index based on lunar conditions and the weather.

Astrology and reception

A zodiac horoscope section offers readings for selected signs, with daily, weekly and monthly views. This will appeal to users who want astrology alongside astronomical and weather information, though the app’s more practical use is as a date-based Moon, Sun and forecast reference.
