How this is calculated
The Moon's position comes from astronomical formulas, then the Lahiri ayanamsa is subtracted to get the sidereal longitude. The Moon spends about a day in each Nakshatra, so this page changes daily.
We checked the calculation against a published panchang and it matched to within about a minute. Printed panchangs can differ slightly because of location.
