Frank, you wrote "The only reason we can't see the Moon rise on each and every day is because atmospheric extinction near the horizon, ..." Sorry, Frank but I guess you know also that the Moon does not rise on "each and every day". There is one day during a month (possibly in some months even two) where there is no Moon rise, even not an invisible one. Due to the Moon's orbit there is one day during the lunar month where there is no Moon rise, transit or set. On such days the last event was shortly before midnight and the next one shortly a day later after midnight. Marcel
