Moon questions for Surabaya
When is the best time for stargazing in Surabaya?
Around new moon, when the moon is down for the whole of the dark part of the night. In October 2026 the nights with the most moonless darkness in Surabaya start on 7–12 October, with up to 9h 30m of fully dark sky (sun more than 18° below the horizon, moon below the horizon).
Which way up does the moon look from Surabaya?
Surabaya is in the tropics, so the moon passes high overhead and crescents often look like a bowl or a "smile", lit from below, rather than a letter C or D. Waxing moons are lit on the side facing the evening sun in the west.
When is the Harvest Moon in Surabaya?
The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the March equinox — the start of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. In Surabaya it falls on 2 April 2026 and on 22 March 2027. The traditional moon names in the full-moon table below follow Northern Hemisphere seasons, so they don't use this name.
