Frequently asked questions

What time is moonrise in Los Angeles today?

Thursday, December 17, 2026: moonrise 12:06 PM, moonset none (next 12:51 AM, Dec 18) (PST).

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.
