Description
Calculate sun or moon events, as seen from a specific location on Earth
Returns a GeoJSON document indicating time and direction to when the sun (or moon) is on its highest point on a given date (defaults to today) as seen from a specified point on Earth, as well as the preceding sun/moonrise and following sun/moonset (which may not be on the same date). The lowest point in the cycle is also returned. Note that any or all of these may be "null".
The source code is available on GitHub or as container images. If you have a server it's much more efficient to run it locally than to query api.met.no.
