Moon

Information about the Moon is published in Section D of The Astronomical Almanac. Such information includes the phases of the Moon for the year; notes and formulae for the mean elements of orbit and rotation, selenographic coordinates, and librations; and a daily physical ephemeris. Additionally, presented only in the AsA Online, are lunar polynomial coefficients for use in calculating apparent right ascension and declination and horizontal parallax. These are available in ASCII and PDF formats.
