Just looking ahead to the end of June trip to Canada and I noticed on the app on my phone one of the days I'll be up, showed "none" as the moon rise time. All the other days had a time for moon rise. In fact, I don't think I've noticed this ever before.

Huh? How so? Can you explain that to me?

What are the moon rise times the days prior to the no moon rise day?

The moon rises every 24 hours and somewhere around 49-50 minutes. So if moonrise on the day prior is late enough, it can skip a whole calendar day. My guess is this is what is happening.

This happens every lunar cycle as moon rise approaches midnight. Get the "Time2fish Lite" app and scroll through.

I don't believe the sky is expected to fall until November 8th this year.

That's the app I was using. I'll look close at it for more analyzation. Admittedly, I have not gotten into the moon phase observations until this past season, so lots to learn. Thanks guys.

No moon rise or set on a day simply means it happens after 12am, no matther what app. Now, if the sunset isn't there, we are screwed...

Shouldn't it still show at 1 or 2 am or whatever?

after midnight is the next day. If the moon rises at say 11:30pm on Monday, moon rise next 12:30 am Wednesday. So technically it never rose on Tuesday.

Correct.
