Micro Full Moon on February 24
We’re having a few months of Micro Full Moons and Super New Moons—this is the reason why a solar eclipse on April 8 will be total, not annular.
Beta The Interactive Night Sky Map simulates the sky above Wichita on a date of your choice. Use it to locate a planet, the Moon, or the Sun and track their movements across the sky. The map also shows the phases of the Moon, and all solar and lunar eclipses. Need some help?
