Phases of the Moon

Moon phases at a glance

Phases of the Moon is a lunar calendar and moon-tracking app for anyone who wants to follow the Moon’s changing appearance, timing, and position. It shows the current phase through an interactive 3-D model, with the illuminated portion changing as you move through the lunar cycle. Swipe across the display to explore earlier or upcoming phases.

Useful lunar information

The app provides the phase name, illumination percentage, Moon distance, and the Moon’s rise and set times for a selected location. A monthly calendar helps you see how the Moon will look on different dates, while separate controls make it easy to find the next full Moon, new Moon, or another notable event. The display also includes the associated astrology zodiac sign and the Moon’s libration, or apparent orbital wobble.
