Why ephemeris-exact dates matter

A new moon is not a full day; it is an exact moment when the Moon reaches a specific 0° elongation from the Sun. The surrounding 24–48 hours carry the energy, but the exact time is the peak. This page uses the project's Meeus ephemeris engine, checked against published lunar tables for accuracy.
