I think the full moon occurs on April 6 2012 for time zones West of Asia, but April 5 is not a full moon while April 8 is.  Doesn't that seem a bit shifted? [[User:Derekt75|Derekt75]] 20:51, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Moon phase mismatch?

On 13 November 2014, the moon was at last quarter.

The page claims that Friday, November 13th, 2014 should be new moon in NetHack, and indeed wikipedia:Table of lunar phases confirms that a new moon occurs at 15:15 UTC on November 14th, 2014. However, the {{moon phase}} template disagrees, and so does my own NetHack moon phase calculator based on the code from phase_of_the_moon in hacklib.c. Is this a bug in NetHack's moon phase calculation? --Ilmari Karonen 10:06, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I figured it out, the page simply had a typo. The Friday and new moon occur on November 13, 2015, not 2014. Corrected. --Ilmari Karonen 15:09, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Shift compared to actual full moon?

I think the full moon occurs on April 6 2012 for time zones West of Asia, but April 5 is not a full moon while April 8 is. Doesn't that seem a bit shifted? Derekt75 20:51, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
