The Moon Almanac is an annual supplement to The Moon Calendar (also by Kim Long), which has been published every year since 1981. The Moon Almanac adds detailed information about the phases of the Moon, including specific times of moonrise, moonset, new moons, and full moons for all North American time zones as well as Universal Time (traditionally known as Greenwich Mean Time). These time zone-specific events provide the apogees and perigees for every lunar cycle, including the times and dates for when the Moon comes closest to the Earth. Other specific lunar events include the rise and set times of the full moons for 15 major US cities, and a unique graphic chart displaying the hours and minutes of darkness for every day of the year -- a visual guide to the darkest and lightest nights of the year. Two solar and two lunar eclipses for 2026 are profiled and The Moon Almanac describes some of the localized terms Native American tribes used to name the full moons. Special holidays and traditional calenders based on full and new moons are surveyed, as well as a guide to plan for opportunities to see the earliest possilbe first crescent moons.
