Has anyone run across a calendar for evolution that gives the time and
day that the full moon rises, at a location?
This is the only astronomical calendar that I know of:

Good stuff. "Full moon" is strictly defined, i.e. "...a full moon
occurs when the geocentric apparent (ecliptic) longitudes of the Sun
and
Moon differ by 180 degrees; the Moon is then in opposition with the
Sun.[1]" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon)
Whereas I'm looking for the time of day the full moon rises in, for
example, Chicago.
No, I've never seen such a thing. But it sounds fun and useful. Maybe I'll put one together.
Just pass a lat/long as url parameter and get an icalendar file for the next 90 days or a date range
specified in the url?
