The rise/set times are always for the day in question. It doesn't display yesterday or tomorrow. So if you're looking at the sidebox on the left, they are the times for today only.

The rise and set times will always be displayed showing the rise time first and the set time second. Which doesn't necessarily mean that the moon always rises first and then sets on any given day.

For today, it sets first in the morning at 7:37am and then rises in the evening at 6:51pm.

It happens for all the reasons mentioned in the previous posts
