The next full moon falls on November 24, 2026 at 3:53 pm Brussels time, and the next new moon on November 9, 2026 at 8:01 am. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Anderlecht clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Anderlecht
The next change is on Sunday, March 28, 2027, 143 days from now, when the clocks in Anderlecht go forward 1 hour at 1:59 am and the offset moves from UTC+1 to UTC+2.
Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Anderlecht shifts by an hour on that date unless the other side moves the same weekend, and every offset printed on this page is the offset for today rather than a fixed property of the city.

The antipode of Anderlecht
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Anderlecht, Belgium and you come out at 50.84 degrees south, 175.69 degrees west. That point is in the South Pacific Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Dunedin, New Zealand, 1,158 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 10:22 pm on Thursday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 50.84 degrees north becomes 50.84 degrees south, and 4.31 degrees east becomes 175.69 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Anderlecht is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-11, roughly twelve hours from Anderlecht, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Anderlecht

Sun and moon in Anderlecht today
The sun is up in Anderlecht for 9 hours 29 minutes today, from 7:41 am to 5:11 pm. The moon rises in Anderlecht at 3:15 am and sets at 3:26 pm. The next phase is the new moon on November 9, 2026. It is 15% lit at the moment, a waning crescent, thinning by about 7.5 percentage points a day.
| Sun | Time in Anderlecht |

| Astronomical dawn | 5:49 am |
| Nautical dawn | 6:27 am |
| Civil dawn | 7:06 am |

| Sunset | 5:11 pm |
| Civil dusk | 5:46 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 6:25 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 7:03 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Anderlecht | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 7:06 am to 7:20 am | 0h 13m |
| Morning golden hour | 7:20 am to 8:31 am | 1h 11m |
| Evening golden hour | 4:21 pm to 5:32 pm | 1h 11m |
| Evening blue hour | 5:32 pm to 5:46 pm | 0h 13m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Anderlecht |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 3:15 am |
| Moonset | 3:26 pm |
| Phase | waning crescent, waning |
| Illumination | 15% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 25.8 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 385,200 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Anderlecht
Seven days from November 5, 2026, computed for Anderlecht, Belgium at 50.84 degrees north, 4.31 degrees east, on the clock of Europe/Brussels. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Anderlecht, Belgium, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Anderlecht
From Anderlecht, Belgium the qibla is 123.4 degrees on a true compass, which is east-southeast, or 33.4 degrees south of due east. The Kaaba is 4,490 km away, 2,790 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Anderlecht, Belgium to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Anderlecht, Belgium before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.

It reads Europe/Brussels from the time zone database, so it stays right when Anderlecht changes its clocks, and it shows CET to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
