Sun & Moon

This is a bird's-eye view of the sky, looking straight up. The center point is directly overhead (zenith); the outer edge is the horizon. The compass letters show which direction to face. Hover (or touch and drag) anywhere in the circle to see the exact time, elevation, and compass direction for both the sun and moon at that point along the path. Where a curve is drawn dashed and dimmer, that portion belongs to the previous or next calendar day rather than the one selected above -- this happens most often with the moon, whose rise and set times drift by about 50 minutes each day, so it frequently rises one day and doesn't set until sometime the next.
