Moon Phase Today Explained: What the Moon Will Look Like on November 22, 2025
The moon is slowly coming back towards us, but it is getting too dark to see anything on the surface. It’s only two of the moon’s cycles, so we’ll have to wait several nights before it starts to show its features.
What is today’s moon phase?
As of Friday Nov. 21, the phase of the moon is the waxing crescent. This means that 5% of the moon is boiled tonight, according to the daily moon sightings. This means that there is nothing you can see on its face tonight.
When is the next month?
The next month will be on December 4, this will be the last of the three consecutive highs. The last full moon was November 5.
What are the phases of the moon?
Nasa tells us that each lunar phase is part of a repeating cycle of 29.5 days. These sections describe how the moon appears on Earth as it hits our planet. While we always see the same side of the moon, the amount of sunlight changes throughout its cycle. That is why sometimes it looks full, sometimes it is full, and sometimes it disappears completely (new moon). There are eight main phases of the moon:
New moon – the moon is between the earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, invisible to the eye).
Bright light speed
Waxing Crescent – a small ball of light appears on the right side (arve hemisphere).
The first quarter – half of the moon is lit on the right. It looks like a Half-Moon.
Waxing gibbous – more than half lit, but not finished.
Full moon – the entire face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Looking for a gibbous – the moon begins to lose light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third quarter (or last quarter) – another half of the moon, but now the left side is illuminated.
Waning Crescent – a small light bulb that stays on the left side before going dark again.
