How to Calculate the Time of Moonrise Today
ADVERTISEMENT
The Moonbeam was a pretty gold-silver hue~(large moonbeam seen Jan. 24th); (Conn.);
Although I missed the setting Moon behind the White Pines; there was a huge Moonbeam before Moonset; it was behind hte moon beaming upward; up into the sky; a pretty oold-silver hue~
when moon rise?
Stars actually NEVER appear in FRONT of the moon!
Correct. As mentioned in the first comment below, the stars are just a decorative icon, not an astronomical representation.
It seems a lot more chaotic than the 50 minutes rule:

The moon rises and sets in all sorts of directions and is up for various amounts of time. I presume there's a pattern similar to that of the sun but IÂ can't imagine the set-up well enough to imagine and understand it.
Meridian Passing time seems fairly well ordered, about 56 to 59 minutes later each day but still not the 50 minutes.
Help ? :-)
The 50-minute rule is a very general guideline. The exact timing of moonrise/set will be dependent on several factors, including longitude, latitude, season, and moon phase. Hope this helps!
been following 6pm moons since august actually. i am a moony.
i'm like whoa! from direct south, to direct east points, the moon rises a one league to the east every night, traveling westerly through out the night. ....after the 6 full moons arriving more easterly every night, are many no moon nights at 6pm. except for the last of these, the moon will show its shiny face in the morning. the morning moons. ..back to whoa: 8 nights between point south to point east, until Feb. was i surprised in February, that there were only 7 nights! 28 days, dugh. As we know February does. Except March is 6 nights, [and more confusion to confusing to write here], regarding where the moon is seen twice at the same points near direct west, south, so on. There are 31 days in March.
Is there some explainable typical March reason for this?
Wrong. The New Moon is invisible because the side facing the Earth is completely UNLIT by the sun. At that time, the Sun is fully lighting the moon's FAR side. The Sun never blots out the Moon. Of course, the Moon can blot out the Sun occasionally, causing Solar eclipses
You are entirely correct. We apologize for the error and have updated the article. Thank you for your feedback!
