If you're like me you like to look at the stars. But I also
like to know the names of the different stars and to know whether
or not I'm looking at a planet or star, and I like to know when
it is going to be a full moon and what time the moon will rise
and when the sun will set.
http://www.stardate.org/nightsky/moon/ - This site will show
you the current phase the moon is in for the month. It shows you
a picture of the moon for the whole month, so you can know
whether it is going to be a full moon or a new moon, etc.
http://www.almanac.com/rise/ - Enter in your ZIP code and
this site will tell you when the sun will rise and set and when
the moon will rise and set.
Sun/Moon Calender
http://www.sunrisesunset.com/custom_srss_calendar.asp - This
site is a little more difficult because you have to find a city
that is near you and select it or enter in your latitude and
longitude and understand GMT. But this site will afterward display
a calender showing the sunrise/sunset/moonrise/moonset times for
the whole month.
http://www.saltwatertides.com/pickpred.html - This is a great
site. First you pick the state you want to know the tide times
for. Then you select which Bay and which part of that Bay. Then
you scroll down and select which month and what starting day
and ending day you want for that month.
The website will then display the high tide and low tide times
for the days you selected. It will also display the height in
feet of the tides. In addition, it will display the
sunrise/sunset/moonrise/moonset times and tell you how much of
the moon's surface will be visible in the sky (99% to 100% means
full moon).
