About this Moon view
Moon photo: NASA/JPL/USGS. The shadow illustrates the calculated phase in a northern-hemisphere orientation; it is not a live photograph or a location-specific view. Positions and phases use Astronomy Engine. Phase labels group the cycle into eight periods; the dates above mark the exact New Moon, quarters, and Full Moon. Practices are optional symbolic suggestions. Choose what feels useful to you; outcomes are not guaranteed.
