I know that I can get weather from the WO and the current date with a mouse rollover.

Is there anyway to get sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset/moonstate information for the current calendar date?

If not, is there a published chart somewhere and which is accurate to the game at various coordinates?

Thanks.

You may want to try the U.S. Naval Observatory's site for real-life information. Here is the URL for their web-based application that gives you all the sun/moon data for any latitude/longitude combination on any date.

The output looks something like this:
