The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiSaptami until 4:33 AM, 9 Maythen Ashtami until 5:37 AM, 10 May
At sunrise the Moon is 253.5° ahead of the Sun. 253.5 ÷ 12° = 21.12, which puts it in lunar day 22 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraUttara Ashadha until 11:50 AMthen Shravana until 1:55 PM, 9 May
At sunrise the Moon is at 277.1° in the sidereal zodiac. 277.1 ÷ 13°20′ = 20.78, which puts it in nakshatra 21 of 27.
SunRises 6:00 AM, sets 8:29 PM
Daylight today is 14h 29m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:46 PM – 1:43 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 58 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal11:26 AM – 1:14 PM
Daylight today is 869 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 109 minutes. On Friday, Rahu Kaal is part 4. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

KaranaVishti until 3:47 PMthen Bava until 4:33 AM, 9 May
A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.
PakshaKrishna · waning
Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthJyeshtha · Vaishakha in the south and west
North India usually ends a month at full moon, and much of the south and west at new moon. In the dark fortnight, the two count different months. Why there are two names
Moon · SunMakara · Mesha
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 277.1°, Sun 23.6°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 2:32 AM, 9 May, Sets 11:03 AM, 64% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.
