Method Detail

moonrise

public Moment moonrise()

Obtains the moment of moonrise if it exists.

Returns:

moment of moonrise or null

moonriseLocal

public PlainTimestamp moonriseLocal()

Obtains the timestamp of moonrise in the local observer timezoone if it exists.

Returns:

local timestamp of moonrise or null

moonrise

public PlainTimestamp moonrise(TZID tzid)

Obtains the timestamp of moonrise in given timezoone if it exists.

Parameters:

tzid - timezone identifier (which maybe deviates from local observer timezone)

Returns:

zonal timestamp of moonrise or null

moonset

public Moment moonset()

Obtains the moment of moonset if it exists.

Returns:

moment of moonset (exclusive) or null

moonsetLocal

public PlainTimestamp moonsetLocal()

Obtains the timestamp of moonset in the local observer timezoone if it exists.

Returns:

local timestamp of moonset or null

moonset

public PlainTimestamp moonset(TZID tzid)

Obtains the timestamp of moonset in given timezoone if it exists.

Parameters:

tzid - timezone identifier (which maybe deviates from local observer timezone)

Returns:

zonal timestamp of moonset or null

isPresent

public boolean isPresent(Moment moment)

Is the moon above the horizon at given moment?

Keep in mind that the moon can even be invisible (New Moon) if it is above the horizon.

Parameters:

moment - the instant to be queried

Returns:

boolean

isPresentAllDay

public boolean isPresentAllDay()

Checks if the moon is always above the horizon.

Keep in mind that the moon can even be invisible (New Moon) if it is above the horizon.

Returns:

true if the moon is always above the horizon else false

isAbsent

public boolean isAbsent()

Keep in mind that the moon can even be invisible (New Moon) if it is above the horizon.

Returns:

true if the moon is always below the horizon else false

length

public int length()

Obtains the length of moonlight in seconds.

Note: This method ignores the phase of moon.

Returns:

physical length of moonlight in seconds (without leap seconds)
