Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on August 13

As of Thursday, August 13, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker, the Moon's current phase is Waxing Crescent, with a mere 0% of its surface visible. The next Full Moon is expected to occur on August 28.

The Moon exhibits a series of phases, each resulting from its varied positions relative to the Earth and Sun, causing different portions of its sunlit side to be visible from our perspective. These phases include New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. The entire lunar cycle, from the New Moon to the next New Moon, takes approximately 29.5 days.
