Can you tell me the phases of the Moon for a particular location on the Earth and a particular time?

A good place to find this is over at the US Naval Observatory where they have a spiffy, interactive lunar phase calculator where you can dial in any date spanning hundreds of years and any latitude and longitude, and get the lunar phase at that date and time.
