The calendar pages include the times for Sun Rise, Sun Set, Moon Rise, and Moon Set for Livermore. Pleasanton/Dublin/San Ramon numbers are within a minute of these numbers. The data was obtained from the US Naval Observatory.
The times have been adjusted for daylight savings time (the US Naval Observatory provides Standard Time numbers only).
About once every 29 days there is no Moon Rise on a given day, as each moon rise is more than 24 hours from the previous one. Likewise for the Moon Set.
Moon Rise may be before or after Moon Set on a given day.
Sunrise and sunset conventionally refer to the times when the upper edge of the disk of the Sun is on the horizon, considered unobstructed relative to the location of interest. Atmospheric conditions are assumed to be average, and the location is in a level region on the Earth's surface.
Moonrise and moonset times are computed for exactly the same circumstances as for sunrise and sunset. However, moonrise and moonset may occur at any time during a 24 hour period and, consequently, it is often possible for the Moon to be seen during daylight, and to have moonless nights. It is also possible that a moonrise or moonset does not occur relative to a specific place on a given date, since it is slightly greater than 24 hours between each moonrise and between each moonset.
A Blue Moon is the 2nd full moon in one month according to the popular definition (since 1946). Older definitions state that it is the 3rd full moon in a season that has 4. By the 2nd full moon in the month definition, it is May 2007, December 2009, August 2012, July 2015, January 2018, October 2020. All pacific time. In some cases (especially 2007), it occurs in different months in different time zones.
The following events occur each year, or regular intervals. They are listed by city, and by the calendar order in which they occur within each city. eLivermore.com has photographs for many of these events.
