How is it possible that there is no moonrise time?

Question

Hello,

On Saturday,July 26, 2008, there was no Moonrise time for that day. How is that possible?

Answer 1

On average, the Moon rises 50 minutes later each day. So two consecutive moonrises might be:

July 25th at 2345

July 27th at 0035, which is 24 hours 50 minutes later.

Answer 2

It rose the previous day and was already up at midnight.

Answer 3

Hey, they even made a song out of this non-occurrence:

No moon at all

What a night

Even livened bugs empty their light

Stars have disappeared from sight

And there's no moon at all

Don't make a sound it's so dark

Even fido he's afraid to bark

What a perfect chance to park

And there's no moon at all

Should we want atmosphere

For inspiration be one kiss

Will make it clear

That tonight is right

And right from life nights

Interfere

No moon at all

Ah poor boy

This is nothing

Like they told us of

Just to think

We fell in love

There's no moon at all

And there's no moon at all

And there's no moon at all

Answer 4

So the Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction that the Earth rotates.  This isn't a coincidence.  But it means that the Moon's rise and set takes slightly longer than a day.  So if the Moon rises (from the point of view of one spot on the Earth) just before midnight, there might be no rise the following day.

I don't seem to be able to figure out where you live just from the date.  There might be some time zone thing i don't understand.
