Times local to Pyongyang (Asia/Pyongyang). “—” means the Moon doesn't rise or set during that calendar night.
A new Moon is the best time for stargazing — with no moonlight, faint stars, the Milky Way and meteor showers all show far better. A full Moon is beautiful but floods the sky with light — see the full moon calendar for the year's dates and names. For the darkest upcoming nights in Pyongyang, see the two-week planner on the stargazing page.
