… the Waxing Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 11.89 days old and 87.93% illuminated with a tilt of 108.912°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 366,798.58 km and the moon sign is Pisces.
The Moon phase for today is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.
… Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact:
