# The Moon

You can calculate the position of the Moon in a variety of common coordinate systems using the [Body Position](https://docs.radiantdrift.com/body-position) end point and its rise, transit, and setting time using the [Rise, Transit, Set](https://docs.radiantdrift.com/rise-transit-set-times) 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.
