How to see the Moon tonight in Dublin
- 1
Check the time and direction

- 2
Face the right way
The Moon rises in the eastern half of the sky and sets in the western half, but the exact point moves through the month. Near full Moon in winter it rises north of east and climbs high; in summer it rises south of east and stays low. In the southern hemisphere it is the other way round.

Find a clear, low horizon
Haze and buildings near the horizon often hide the Moon for the first few minutes after moonrise, so a high or open spot helps. A waning crescent rises around midnight and is highest around dawn.

Clouds? Watch it live
If clouds hide it, you can still watch the Moon live on our 3D Moon globe, with tonight's phase, the lunar orbiters and the landing sites.
Why does moonrise move later each night?
The Moon moves about 13° along its orbit every day, so Earth has to turn a little further each night to bring it back over the horizon. On average moonrise comes about 50 minutes later each night. This week in Dublin it comes up between 69 and 79 minutes later each night.
