About Open Moon Calendar

A fast, free, privacy-focused lunar calendar for everyone — from casual skywatchers to photographers, gardeners, and astronomy lovers.

Our mission

Most moon-phase sites are slow, ad-heavy, and track you across the web. We built Open Moon Calendar to be the opposite: a lightweight, accurate moon calendar that respects your privacy and works everywhere — on any device, in 10 languages, even offline. The only tracking we use is Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate usage — no ad trackers, no data selling.

What we offer

  • Moon phases & full moon calendar for 2025, 2026 and beyond, with exact primary-phase times.
  • Moonrise & moonset, sunrise & sunset computed for your exact location.
  • Sun & Moon Today dashboard — live altitude curves, twilight phases, and horizon bearings.
  • Night Sky & Eclipses trackers — upcoming solar and lunar eclipses with local visibility.
  • 10 languages, day/night theme, offline mode — no login, no account, no paywall.

How it works

All astronomical calculations run 100% locally in your browser using well-established lunar algorithms (synodic cycle, SunCalc-style solar/lunar position math). Your location never leaves your device — there are no servers processing your coordinates and no advertising trackers bundled with the core experience. Separately, Google Analytics (GA4) measures aggregate page usage so we can improve the site; details and opt-out options are in ourPrivacy Policy.

Who maintains this?

Open Moon Calendar is an independent open web project, maintained by a small team of astronomy and web-performance enthusiasts. The site is static-first (built with Astro), which keeps it fast, cheap to run, and resilient under high traffic.
