# The Moon You can calculate the position of the Moon in a variety of common coordinate systems using the [Body Position](/body-position.md) end point and its rise, transit, and setting time using the [Rise, Transit, Set](/rise-transit-set-times.md) end point. Additionally, the Body Position end point can optionally return other Moon specific information, such as the illuminated fraction of the Moon's disc, waxing/waning state, and geocentric distance. There are however some more specialized end points available which relate solely to the Moon: libration and the lunar limb profile. API end points are available to calculate both geocentric and topocentric lunar libration. For use specifically with solar eclipse calculations, a limited set of lunar limb profile data is available. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.radiantdrift.com/the-moon.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
