Where can you find a website showing not the phases of the moon but the relative placement of the moon in the sky?
Iristone
The relative position in the sky (relative to the Sun) is completely related to the phase. For example, at full moon the Moon will be opposite the Sun (an angle of almost 180 degrees), at new moon it will be near the Sun (an angle near zero degrees), and at half-moon it will be at a 90 degrees angle.
