About this tool

Displays the lunar phase for every day of any month, calculated from astronomical algorithms. Useful for gardeners (planting by moon phase), photographers (planning moonlit shoots), fishers (tide-related activity) and anyone curious about the night sky.

The phase calculation uses the synodic month (29.53 days) and is accurate to within a few hours for dates in the 20th and 21st centuries. It runs entirely in your browser — no external API is called.

Moon phases repeat in a cycle of about 29.5 days, so the same phase falls on a different calendar date each month. Full moons have popular names (Harvest Moon, Wolf Moon, etc.) that vary by cultural tradition.
