Today (1/24/2020) for Boston MA timeanddate.com lists the following four times:
- Sunrise
7:05 AM - Moonrise
7:06 AM - Moonset
4:33 PM - Sunset
4:47 PM
Now, if moonrise is after sunrise, I'd have thought the "new moon" conjunction already happened. But since moonset is before sunset, I'd think it hasn't happened yet.
What gives? Is this a rounding error? Usually the moon "moves" across the sky "slower" than the sun does (as in a solar eclipse where the moon moves from west to east back across the sun).
