The Moon is not above the horizon in the next 24 hours.

Not a scientific measurement. The index favours a Moon that is easy to see, not necessarily the sharpest surface detail.

No qualifying window

No viewing window in the next 24 hours

A window requires at least two consecutive hours with a score of 50 or better and the Moon above the horizon.

Why this recommendation

  • Waxing Crescent at 3% illumination. Only a slim crescent is lit; look soon after sunset or before sunrise, close to the horizon.
  • The Moon does not rise above the horizon during the next 24 hours at this location.
  • No moonrise is predicted within the next 48 hours — a polar condition is possible.
Limitations & methodShow
  • The viewing score is a convenience index, not a scientific measurement of sky quality.
  • The Moon disc on this page is phase-correct but its orientation and surface detail are schematic; libration and parallactic angle are not modelled.
