Sunrise, sunset and the moon next May

Seeing a fabulous full moon setting in a nearly clear sky early this morning made me wonder about the moon and sunrise/sunset will be when we are away in May. A bit of internet trawling led to this:

Date Sunrise Sunset
Friday, May 10, 2013 3:51 am 8:03 pm
Friday, May 24, 2013 3:25 am 8:30 pm

Date Moonrise Moonset Phase
Friday 10 May 05:25 21:50 New Moon at 01:29
Saturday 18 May 12:57 02:01 First Quarter at 05:35
Thursday 23 May 19:31 03:46
Saturday 25 May 22:06 05:03 Full Moon at 05:25 Super Full Moon

You may wonder why I have included the full moon on the Saturday - so look at this link about the 'Super Full Moon'.....

Hmm, that doesn't look right. Forecast for Edinburgh next May is 05.10-21.10 on the 10th and 04.48-21.35 on the 24th. Will be different further north of course.

Perhaps a discrepancy due to British Summer Time?

Re: Sunrise, sunset and the moon next May

This is a handy little site, which I've posted before. Shows you all manner of sun/moon for any location, any date. I've set this particular example to show Edinburgh on May 10 2013.

Camping in the highlands when the moon is full is dangerous...

This documentary was a trifle alarmist. There was nothing a reasonably equipped Challenger couldn't cope with.

It wasn't my intention to worry you.....

I was a good Girl Guide. I was taught to BE PREPARED! Good theme for a Challenger....

That is a lovely site. Thank you for that.

Incidentally, I have realised the mistake I made yesterday - see 'oops' below for the correct information....
