Next month, please look for the Moon from Israel and most of the World on Friday 27th March 2009. From Jerusalem (and similarly for the rest of Israel) the Moon may be visible from 18:58 till 19:03 and will be very easy to see. At 18:58 the Moon will be at azimuth 277° (3½° right of the sunset) and 10½° high. From Australia and South Africa, the Moon will only appear the next day.
