Tonight's Moon
The Moon is currently a Full Moon at 99% illumination. The Moon cycles through its eight phases every 29.5 days as it orbits Earth. A new moon rises and sets with the Sun (invisible), while a full moon rises at sunset and is up all night. For the darkest skies to spot faint objects, plan around the Wednesday, August 12, 2026 new moon.
