Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on November 6, 2026
See the Moon phase expected for November 6, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
On November 6, 2026, the Moon will be in the Waning Crescent phase, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker. Only 16% of the Moon's surface will be visible from Earth. To observe specific lunar features like the Grimaldi Basin, binoculars or a telescope will be necessary.
The Moon completes a full lunar cycle around 29.5 days, transitioning through eight distinct phases. These phases arise due to the changing angle of sunlight hitting the Moon's surface as it orbits Earth. Starting with the New Moon, when the Moon is positioned between Earth and the sun and its dark side faces our planet, the cycle moves through Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter (also known as Last Quarter), and finally Waning Crescent before returning to New Moon.
