Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on September 19, 2026

Today's Moon phase is a Waxing Gibbous, with 54% of its surface illuminated. This means that more of the lunar surface is visible each night, providing ample opportunities to spot various features. At present, you can see Mare Vaporum, Mare Serenitatis, and Mare Fecunditatis with just your naked eye. If you own a pair of binoculars, they will also enhance your view, allowing you to observe the Alphonsus Crater, Posidonius Crater, and the Mare Nectaris.

For those with access to a telescope, the Apollo 16 and 17 landing sites, as well as the Linne Crater, can be observed. The next Full Moon is expected on September 26.
