The moon in Godomè
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,461 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:12–3:12 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 1:43–3:43 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:10–9:10 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:16–9:16 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
