Moonphase Specifications
|
Choose time zone and get sun and moon rise and set times.
Whether you're an astronomy buff or a werewolf or have some other interest in the moon's phases, Moonphase is a simple desktop utility that might be of interest to you. This attractive program provides detailed information about the moon that's specific to your location, even noting which days are best for fishing according to what the moon's up to.
The program's interface is maybe a little cluttered at first glance, but it's fairly easy to figure out. On the left side, an attractive graphic provides a realistic depiction of the moon in its current phase. You can select your time zone or longitude and latitude to make the information location-specific; a world map pinpoints the selected location, which can also be changed by clicking elsewhere on the map. We liked the fact that Moonphase was able to save our location so that we wouldn't have to enter it anew every time we launched the program.
