Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on August 11

Today, August 11, the Moon is in its Waning Crescent phase, with only 3% of its surface visible. The lunar cycle, which lasts approximately 29.5 days, governs the changing appearance of the Moon as seen from Earth. Currently, we are nearing the end of this lunar cycle, with the Moon gradually approaching its New Moon phase when the Moon will be invisible to the naked eye.

The next Full Moon will occur on August 28. In the lunar cycle, the Moon transitions through eight distinct phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
