Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on September 12
See the Moon phase expected for September 12, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
The Moon is currently in the Waxing Crescent phase, with only 2% of its surface illuminated, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker. On September 12, 2023, the Moon appeared as a small sliver of light in the sky. The lunar cycle, which takes roughly 29.5 days to complete, causes the Moon's appearance to change as it orbits Earth.
The Moon's phases depend on its position relative to Earth and the Sun, and how much of its sunlit side is visible from our perspective. The eight lunar phases are: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter (or Last Quarter), and Waning Crescent.
