Moon Phase Today: July 26

The Moon will look almost full tonight. It is in the waxing gibbous phase.

On July 26, the Moon is in the Waxing Gibbous phase, with 90% of its surface visible.

Tonight, you can see the Mares Fecunditatis, Serenitatis, and Tranquillitatis without help. Binoculars will help you see the Alps Mountains and craters. A telescope will show you more, like the Apollo 12 landing spot.

The next Full Moon is on July 29.

The Moon takes 29.5 days to go around Earth. It passes through eight phases. The same side of the Moon always faces Earth, but the Sun's light changes as it moves. This creates different appearances, from a small crescent to a full Moon.

There are eight Moon phases.

New Moon: The Moon is between Earth and the Sun, so we can't see it.

Waxing Crescent: A small part of the Moon is lit on the right side.

First Quarter: Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon. It's half-illuminated.

Waxing Gibbous: More than half of the Moon is lit, but not all of it.

Full Moon: The whole Moon is lit and visible.

Waning Gibbous: The Moon starts to lose light on the right side.

Third Quarter: The other half of the Moon is lit, on the left side.

Waning Crescent: A small part of the Moon is lit before it goes dark.
