This is a Go port of the Python astral package.

The astral package provides the means to calculate the following times of the sun:

  • noon
  • midnight
  • sunset
  • dusk
  • daylight
  • night
  • twilight
  • blue hour
  • golden hour

plus solar azimuth and elevation at a specific latitude/longitude. It can also calculate the moon phase for a specific date.

CLI

Besides the package for usage in you own programs, we also provide a tool for showing the data.
