See the current moon phase anytime, anywhere

Staring at the moon has something romantic about it, doesn’t it? But I’m not sure if staring at this virtual moon produces the same effect. Moonphase is an astronomic tool that tells you exactly what the moon phase is at this very moment – or on any day you choose from the program’s embedded calendar.It works with any location on Earth, which you can select by entering the correspondent latitude and longitude numbers or simply by clicking on the map (much easier, huh?). Besides displaying the moon phase and using attractive animations to switch from one phase to the other when you change date or location, the program doesn’t really offer much more: no configuration settings, no location search box.Well, at least you get the sunrise and sunset times as a free extra. Moonphase is a simple astronomy tool especially developed for those of you who feel a special attraction towards our satellite.

Moonphase displays the current moon phase of current day as an icon in the Activity field. You can change time zone, latitude and longitude (you can also click on the map!

) to get a more accurate moon distance, moon rise, moon transit and moon set times and also the sun rise, sun transit and sun set. A little bonus: If you like to fish, mark the ‘Show good fish days’ option (fishing calendar, derived from ‘the anglers Almanac’).
