Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on November 13, 2026
See the Moon phase expected for November 13, 2026 as well as when the next Full Moon is expected.
On November 13, 2026, the Moon will be in its Waxing Crescent phase, with 14% of its surface illuminated. This phase is characterized by the Moon's increasing visibility in the evening sky, allowing skygazers to catch a glimpse of some lunar features. The current Waxing Crescent Moon can be observed with the naked eye, revealing the Mare Crisium and Mare Fecunditatis. With binoculars or a telescope, observers may also spot the Endymion Crater.
The Moon's phase cycle occurs approximately every 29.5 days, and the Moon transitions through eight distinct phases as it orbits Earth. These phases begin with the New Moon, where the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, rendering the illuminated side invisible to the naked eye. As the Moon continues its orbit, it progresses through the Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, and Full Moon phases, before entering the Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and finally the Waning Crescent phase, which concludes the cycle and sets the stage for a new New Moon.
