Desert floor under Mount San Jacinto. The mountain eats the sun well before the computed sunset — often by an hour.

Questions
- What is the moon phase tonight in Palm Springs?
- The moon over Palm Springs on Thursday, October 8, 2026 is a waning crescent, 4% illuminated.
- When is the next full moon?
- Sunday, October 25, 2026 — the moon is the same phase everywhere on Earth, so this holds well beyond Palm Springs.
- When is the next new moon?
- Saturday, October 10, 2026. New moon is the darkest sky of the month, which is what you want for stars.
- What time zone are these times in?
- Pacific time — PDT in summer, PST in winter. Palm Springs observes daylight saving, so the clock times here already account for the shift.
- How accurate are these times?
- Within about a minute. They come from the NOAA solar position formulas computed for 33.83°N, 116.55°W, and they assume a flat horizon — hills, buildings, or marine layer will move what you actually see.
Sun and moon are computed from the NOAA solar formulas and the standard synodic model — no forecast, no API, nothing to go stale. Tide is never computed here; it comes from NOAA or it is absent. Machine-readable version.
