Finding Tonight's Moonrise in Tucson, Arizona

The Moon's rising point on the horizon shifts daily due to its orbital inclination and the season. For Tucson (32.2° N, 110.9° W), the azimuth typically ranges from ~60° (ENE) to ~120° (ESE) over a lunar month.

To find tonight's exact rise:

1. Check a reliable source for moonrise time and azimuth for today's date: TimeandDate.com, USNO, or astronomy apps (Stellarium, SkySafari, PhotoPills).
2. At the listed time, face the azimuth direction (compass bearing) with a clear horizon view.
3. The Moon will appear rising from that point.

General pattern: Near full Moon, it rises near sunset in the E/SE. Near new Moon, it rises near sunrise in the E/NE. Weather and mountains (Santa Catalinas) may delay visibility.
