How this service works
Moon phase name, phase angle and illumination percent plus moonrise, moonset, highest and lowest points for any location and date, from MET Norway
Output
A JSON object containing: the date, named moon phase (e.g. 'waxing crescent', 'full moon'), phase angle in degrees, illumination as a percentage, moonrise and moonset times with azimuths, the moment and elevation when the moon is highest (with a visibility flag), the moment when the moon is lowest, the location coordinates, data source attribution (MET Norway), and any contextual notes.
Example use cases
Astrophotography planning by location
“I'm going out to photograph the moon this Saturday near Denver — can you tell me the moon phase, how much of it will be illuminated, and when it rises and reaches its highest point for coordinates 39.7392 latitude, -104.9903 longitude?”
Camping trip lunar conditions check
“We're camping this Friday night at Yosemite Valley, roughly latitude 37.7456, longitude -119.5936 — what will the moon phase be, and what time does it rise and set so we know how much natural light we'll have?”
Fishing or hunting pre-trip moon lookup
“I'm planning an early morning fishing trip Sunday at latitude 29.9511, longitude -90.0715 near New Orleans — can you pull the moon phase, illumination percent, and moonrise time so I can plan around peak activity windows?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/astronomy/moon?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need detailed lunar data — phase name, illumination, phase angle, and precise rise/set/culmination times — for any geographic coordinate. It is especially valuable for outdoor activity planning (astrophotography, camping, fishing, hunting), agricultural scheduling, or any use case requiring both moon phase and timing data in a single call. Unlike generic astronomy APIs, it sources data from MET Norway and returns rich altitude and azimuth details alongside phase information.
Side effects
- Missing required lat/lon parameters returns a validation error
- Latitude outside -90 to 90 or longitude outside -180 to 180 causes an error
- MET Norway upstream service unavailable may result in null fields or error
- Coordinates in the extreme polar regions may return null moonrise/moonset if the moon doesn't cross the horizon that day
- Invalid date format may cause unexpected or empty results
