Daylight Savings Time & Time Zones
If your country uses Daylight Savings time and it is in operation, add that amount (usually 1hr) on to the time shown to get the time of the lunar phase, as shown on your clock. Don’t forget you also have to add (if East of London) or subtract (if West of London) your zone value. In some cases this will push the date onto the next or previous day.
Eclipses
Some New and Full Moons are eclipses (only New or Full Moons can be eclipses). There are always at least four eclipses each year and no more than seven. Each of these is one of several different types, as indicated on the table above using the following abbreviations:
Solar eclipses (sometimes occurring at the New Moon) may be:
- (T) – total
- (A) – annular
- (H) – hybrid i.e. Annular/Total
- (P) – partial
Lunar eclipses (sometimes occurring at the Full Moon) may be:
- (t) – total umbral
- (p) – partial umbral
- (n) – penumbral
Note that the exact time of the New or Full Moon, shown in the table, may not be precisely the same as the time of the corresponding Eclipse, but there is not usually much more than five or ten minutes of time difference. If this difference matters to you, look in a table of eclipse times.
