New Moon Dates is a software tool that calculates the moon date and time lunar latitude for a specified year.
This software is designed to calculate and display the date, time, and lunar latitude for each month in a given year. It also includes offsets from the Prime Meridian and either UT or local time. The routines are written in BASIC and are not object-oriented. The software assumes certain hardware and software platforms.
Calculating the lunar orbital accuracy is a non-trivial task, but this software uses equations derived from the book "Astronomy with Your Personal Computer" by Peter Duffett-Smith. According to the book, the equations used to determine new moon dates are accurate within two minutes, which is a high level of precision (see page 172 of the second edition).
The software provides information on the date of the New Moon and the New Moon's latitude. However, users should determine if this level of accuracy meets their individual needs. Overall, if you're looking for basic lunar information for any given year, this software will be useful.
