What is deliberately missing

Eclipses and planetary conjunctions are not listed yet. Both require validated, location-specific visibility geometry and reliable source cross-checks; advertising an eclipse you cannot see would be worse than omitting it. The principal phases below are geocentric events with local time conversion and an altitude check.

A phase is global; the clock time and the Moon's altitude are local. At the exact instant of a full or new Moon, the Moon may be below your horizon even though the phase itself is real.
