Moon Phase for Sunday Feb 9th, 2025
The current moon phase for today is the Waxing Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 11.17 days old and 90.9% illuminated with a tilt of 141.816°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 382,937.52 km and the moon sign is Cancer.
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.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
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: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

On this day, the moon is 13.24 days old and 99.18% illuminated with a tilt of 165.78°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 389,744.25 km and the moon sign is Leo.

Moon Phase for Wednesday Feb 12th, 2025
The current moon phase for February 12th, 2025 is the Full Moon phase.
On this day, the moon is 13.25 days old and 99.2% illuminated with a tilt of 166.817°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 389,780.99 km and the moon sign is Leo.
The Moon phase for February 12th, 2025 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).
The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.
The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.
Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

Moon Phase for Saturday Feb 15th, 2025
The current moon phase for February 15th, 2025 is the Waning Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 16.33 days old and 95.3% illuminated with a tilt of -26.925°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 399,795.23 km and the moon sign is Virgo.
The Moon phase for February 15th, 2025 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).
The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.
During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.
Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.
