Frequently asked questions about the Moon

What is the Moon's phase today?

The Moon moves through its monthly cycle from new moon through crescent, quarter, and full moon, then wanes toward the next new moon.

How is lunar illumination calculated?

Illumination estimates the lit portion of the lunar disk based on the Moon's position in its orbit around Earth.

How are upcoming phase times calculated?

This page uses the mean synodic cycle to estimate new and full moon times; the actual instant can differ slightly.
