Last Updated on Jul 12 2025, 5:55 am EDT. NGTNight drapes the Grayson Highlands, where shadows dance on rugged trails and stars pierce the sky over silent pony fields. Owl hoots resonate in Pocahontas State Park, paired with the earthy aroma of moss under a glowing night sky. Black bears shuffle into Allegheny caves, their heavy steps muffled by pine needles under a star-filled sky. Woodcocks spiral in Dismal Swamp, dancing under the faint moonlight glow. Alone in Leesburg, Virginia, I find peace watching the moon climb the starry sky. Virginia is located in the United States South East, and Leesburg is nestled in its part of Virginia. The longitude of Leesburg is -77.4903 degrees, and the latitude is 39.0469 degrees. Virginians say, "Sic Semper Tyrannis," which translates to "Thus Always to Tyrants."
Our moon phase calculator also shows sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times. See the moomrise time. Then go take a look.

The moon phase calculator on timeprophecy.com adjusts sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times based on the observer’s geographic location, defined by latitude and longitude. These times shift due to Earth’s curvature and rotation, affecting when celestial events occur. The moon’s appearance, including its phase and crater orientation, also varies with location and altitude, influenced by atmospheric conditions like weather, which can obscure visibility or alter perception. Accurate coordinates ensure precise calculations for any spot on Earth.
The calculator dynamically displays the moon phase for a nearby airport, using the user’s internet service location to estimate their position. For example, entering a town like Minneapolis might pull data from a nearby airport like KANE. This feature provides localized moon phase information, including sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times, tailored to the user’s region. Weather data from the airport, such as wind and humidity, may also be shown, enhancing the tool’s utility for moonsighting.
Time inputs on the calculator use a 24-hour clock based on Universal Time (UT) at Greenwich, England. Users enter dates and times, and the form indicates their local time zone offset, showing how many hours ahead or behind Greenwich they are. All calculations are performed in UT for consistency, but the tool converts results to local time based on the provided coordinates. This ensures accurate event timings, like moonrise or sunset, adjusted to the user’s location.
The calculator offers a graphical display of the moon’s phase and the sun’s longitude, covering a vast timeline from 2,500 years in the past to 2,500 years in the future. Users can input any date within this range (Julian Day Numbers 808299 to 2634167) to visualize the moon’s appearance, including apogee, perigee, and ecliptic nodes. This feature allows exploration of historical and future celestial events, with illustrations marking lunar apsides and eclipses for precise analysis.
The timeprophecy.com homepage hosts a versatile moon phase calculator that tailors sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times to the user’s location, using nearby airport data for accuracy. It employs a 24-hour Greenwich time system, converting results to local time, and graphically depicts moon phases and solar longitudes across a 5,000-year span. With location-based adjustments for moon appearance and weather, it’s a powerful tool for astronomers, researchers, and enthusiasts exploring celestial events.
The graphi at the top of the page shows eight lunar phases. Click on a phase to see the next new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third-quarter moon. Tap here to see a more detailed lunar calculator if desired.
Our moon phase calculator also shows sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times tonight or any other place or time, along with nearby moonsighting weather.
The small white dot near Earth in our illustration is a lunar apside (perigee or apogee). The red dot is a node of the ecliptic (ascending or descending). When a new or full moon is at or is opposite to the red dot, an eclipse occurs.
The moon's appearance, sunrise time, sunset time, moonrise time, and moonset time all change based on your longitude and latitude.
