The Moon Today section explained: What will this month look like on November 24, 2025
The moon is in full swing again, and on the fourth day of the lunar cycle it already looks big in the sky. Read on to see what you can see on his face tonight.
What is today’s moon phase?
As of Monday, November 24, the phase of the moon is a waxing crescent. This means that 16% of the moon is waxed tonight, according to the daily moon sightings.
With the naked eye, tonight you will be able to see the fecunditatis and the crisium mare. With binoculars or a telescope, you will also be able to see the endymion crater in the upper right corner. If you are in the southern hemisphere, this will be placed at the bottom left.
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?
According to NASA, the phases of the moon are what make up the lunar cycle, a repeating cycle that lasts about 29.5 days. These sections describe how the moon appears on Earth as it hits our planet. We always see the same side of the moon, but the amount of sunlight it shines through changes throughout its cycle. That’s why sometimes it looks full, sometimes it’s full, and sometimes it disappears completely. There are eight phases of the month:
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.
