Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on September 8
See the Moon phase expected for September 8, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
On September 8, the Moon will be in the Waning Crescent phase, displaying only 10% of its illuminated surface to observers on Earth. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker, the Moon is almost in the New Moon phase, positioned between Earth and the sun, rendering the side we see dark. The next Full Moon is scheduled for September 26.
This lunar phase, known as Waning Crescent, is preceded by several stages in the Moon's 29.5-day cycle. It begins with the New Moon, when the Moon lies between Earth and the Sun, making it invisible to the naked eye. As the lunar cycle progresses, the Moon transitions through phases such as Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, and Full Moon, before entering the Waning Gibbous phase, where the illuminated portion starts to diminish.
Finally, the Third Quarter, or Last Quarter, marks another half-Moon, with the left side illuminated, before culminating in the Waning Crescent phase.
