Nakshatra Transitionनक्षत्र परिवर्तन

The exact moment the Moon moves out of its current Nakshatra and into the next one.

In practice

Useful for planning: if you need an activity to happen "during" a specific Nakshatra (common in Muhurta selection, baby naming, or travel planning), this transition time tells you the hard cutoff.

How it's calculated

Computed via a binary search over the Moon's sidereal longitude to find the precise instant it crosses into the next 13°20' Nakshatra segment.
