Frequently asked questions

What time is moonrise in Wellington today?

Saturday, March 21, 2026: moonrise 9:42 AM, moonset 8:11 PM (NZDT).

Why can't I see the Moon exactly at moonrise time?

Moonrise is when the Moon's centre crosses a flat horizon. Buildings, trees, hills or haze near the horizon delay the first sighting, often by 10–20 minutes — for Karwa Chauth or Sankashti, wait until the Moon is clearly visible.
