The Moon is a first quarter tonight, 37% lit and 6.1 days into its cycle. It rises at 2:12 PM and sets at 10:28 PM local time, so the darkest stargazing window falls across most of the night — this is a good week for faint objects and meteors. The next full moon — the Harvest Moon — arrives on September 26, and the next new moon on October 10. Phase, illumination and rise and set times on this page are computed from the Moon's actual orbital position for your location rather than looked up in a table, so they shift correctly as you move across the country.
