Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on October 29, 2026
See the Moon phase expected for October 29, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
Today's Moon phase is a Waning Gibbous, with 87% of its surface illuminated. This means that, without visual aids, observers should be able to spot notable craters like Tycho, Copernicus, and Mare Imbrium. Binoculars can reveal additional features such as Posidonius Crater, Mare Humorum, and Grimaldi Basin. With a telescope, one can observe the Apollo 12 landing site, Rupes Altai, and the Caucasus Mountains.
The next Full Moon will occur on November 24, 2026. A Moon phase cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete, moving through various stages such as New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. Each phase results from the Moon's position relative to Earth and the Sun, which alters the visible illuminated surface.
