Moonspan is a moon phase app and lunar calendar that shows you the real Moon — tonight, and any night. See a real 3D Moon, lit by the actual Sun and shaped by real libration, or switch on Cute mode for an illustrated Moon that naps at new moon, watches for shooting stars, and likes a poke or a pet. Living Sky follows the Sun's real altitude as you scrub through the hours. Tonight's Brief is a short, plain-English summary of tonight's Moon, written by Apple Intelligence from Moonspan's own calculations. Drag the date slider to travel through moon phases, past or future. Sky Path plots the Moon's altitude across the night sky from moonrise to moonset. Browse a lunar calendar with every full and new moon, or a year at a glance. ECLIPSES Count down to the next solar and lunar eclipse, and see whether each one is visible from where you are. MOON LOG Keep a private, on-device journal of your nights under the Moon. Every entry is auto-stamped with the phase, illumination, and sky at the moment you write it, and you can add up to four photos. "Help me start" offers a first-person opening line from Apple Intelligence, written entirely on this device. Note how the night felt and save it to Apple Health as a State of Mind entry, see last night's sleep from Health, or bring in a photo or place with Apple's Journaling Suggestions. Both are off until you turn them on, and Moon Log works without them. EARTH & MOON See the Moon's orbit from above: how far the Moon is tonight and whether it's moving closer, Earth's tilt, the seasons, and where eclipses fall. FIND THE MOON Hold up this device and Moonspan points you toward the Moon, with haptics that quicken as you get close. It uses the compass and Moonspan's own calculations, so it's an estimate, not a navigation instrument. LANDMARKS Tap Tycho, Copernicus, or a real Apollo landing site on the 3D Moon to see where it sits and whether it's in sunlight. ON APPLE WATCH Turn the Digital Crown to sweep the Moon through its phases, with a tap for each day and a stronger one at every full and new moon. See tonight's moonrise, moonset, and best viewing, and put the Moon on your watch face. It works without your iPhone nearby. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN Moon phase widgets cover your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center. On iPhone, a Moon Tonight Live Activity keeps a countdown to moonrise or moonset on your Lock Screen.

Astronomy in Moonspan — phase, illumination, sky position, rise and set — is calculated entirely on this device from published astronomical series; sky position and rise/set are estimates for a level, unobstructed horizon, not observatory-grade predictions. Health data and Journaling Suggestions stay on this device, inside your Moon Log. Moonspan uses product analytics to understand how the app is used overall; it's never used to advertise to you, and there are no ads in the app. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
