Frequently asked questions

What time is moonrise in Washington DC today?

Tuesday, October 12, 2027: moonrise 5:05 PM, moonset 4:14 AM (EDT).

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.
