Moon Phases
One of my favorite hobbies is Moon watching. It reminds me of the beauty of space and nature, and the ways of the ancient world. Sometimes it is easy to forget about the Moon and the stars constantly in motion just beyond the blue sky. One of my favorite sites for helping me follow the Moon is the Moon Phases 2023 – Lunar Calendar on https://www.timeanddate.com/. They have more than just the Moon phases, but also the dates of eclipses, the exact times of sunrise/sunset, and more. If astronomy is of interest to you, or you just like knowing the time of the Moon, this site is a great start for exploration.
The link below is to the Lunar Calendar.
