I like to keep track of when the sun rises and sets, and since we checked
out the moon in my dad’s telescope I’ve been interested in moon rising and
setting as well. I realised the other day that although I often know when
the moon is rising and setting, I’ve never thought about where it rises
and sets. I noticed this when I was looking for it the other day. Here’s
some info on where it rises and sets. I also came across this
page, which has a calendar of astronomical events that are visible to
the naked eye and binoculars. I’ve become more aware of such things since
my dad is into astronomy these days, and keeps buying binoculars.
