Astronomical Data for North and Central Texas

The U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) computes astronomical data. Therefore, the NWS does not record, certify, or authenticate astronomical data. Computed times of sunrise, sunset, twilight, moonrise, moonset, moon phases, and other astronomical data are available from USNO's Astronomical Applications Department (https://aa.usno.navy.mil/).
