Now you can have accurate, attractive Moon and Sun details at your fingertips. View a beautiful real-time image of the current Moon phase, complete with technical data. Quickly see if the Moon is above the horizon and find Moon rise and set times and precise Moon position in the sky by looking at the Lunar Position screen. If you also want to know Sun rise and set times, look at the Solar Position screen.
