moonrise
Orb clears horizon
Moonrise is the moment when the moon appears above the horizon, or the time at which this occurs: We watched the moonrise from the beach.
Like sunrise and sunset, it names both the event and the hour.
A moonrise can be spectacular when the moon appears unusually large near the horizon.
