SUNRISE AND SUNSET INFORMATION

Astronomical Data

Sun and Moon Tides and Currents Time
 

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, moonrise, moonset; and twilight, moon phases and other astronomical data are available from USNO's Astronomical Applications Department (http://www.usno.navy.mil).

The USNO websites aa.usno.navy.mil, ad.usno.navy.mil, aristarchus.usno.navy.mil, maia.usno.navy.mil, rorf.usno.navy.mil, and toshi.usno.navy.mil are undergoing modernization efforts. The expected completion of the work and return of service is estimated as 30 April 2020.
See U.S. Naval Observatory - FAQ - Litigation for information on using these data for legal purposes.
