How to read this Moon calendar
Each daily icon is calculated for 12:00 UTC, giving a consistent comparison across the month. Highlighted cells contain an exact major phase event; the event list gives its UTC timestamp. Your local calendar date can differ near midnight.
Moon phase versus Moon visibility
Phase is global geometry, but visibility depends on your horizon, weather, latitude, and local Moonrise and Moonset. This calendar does not silently assume a city.
