Date
The date (and timezone) for the lunation (moon phase) cycle calculation.
The date must be an ISO formatted time likeyyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ssXX
with timezone info, e.g. from the Time provider, a date format ofyyyy-MM-dd
(using the local timezone) or leave it empty for the actual date. -
Result Timezone
The timezone for the calculated result times.
This is normally the timezone of the current location (System default).NoteIf your actual location is Berlin and you want to know the moon phase times given in local time for New York, set the Date and its timezone to "Europe/Berlin" and select for the Result timezone "America/New_York".

Lunation Number
A lunation, or lunar month, is the time it takes the Moon to pass through all of the Moon phases, measured from one New Moon to the next New Moon. Professor Ernest W. Brown invented a lunation number system which counts the lunations, starting the first New Moon on January 17, 1923. -
