Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on September 25, 2026
See the Moon phase expected for September 25, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
On Friday, September 25, 2026, the Moon will be in the Waxing Gibbous phase, with 98% of its surface visible. This phase occurs when the Moon orbits Earth and the amount of its sunlit side visible from our planet increases. With just the naked eye, stargazers can see Mare Crisium, Mare Fecunditatis, and Oceanus Procellarum. Binoculars can enhance the view of Posidonius Crater, Alphonsus Crater, and Mare Frigoris.
For those with telescopes, the Apollo 12 and 16 landing spots, as well as the Schiller Crater, can be observed. The next Full Moon will occur on September 26, 2026. The Moon's phases are determined by its position relative to Earth and the Sun, resulting in eight distinct phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
