If you want to know how bright the moon will be tonight, keep reading. We have all the information you need tonight’s moon, as well as the information you can or cannot find on its surface while working in the moon cycle.
The moon landing cycle is a series of eight phases of moon visibility, based on the light shining from the sun. According to NASA, the entire cycle takes about 29.5 days, and these different phases occur in different parts of the sun lit up as the moon orbits the earth.
This is what the Moon does today (June 23, 2025).
What is the moon phase today?
As of Monday, June 23, the monthly phase is gradually weakening. At this stage, the moon has only very slight light. In fact, NASA tells us that we can only see 5% of the moon’s surface.
Today also marks the 27th day of the lunar cycle. Since the moon is lighted up very little, there is much less chance of discovering basins and craters with the naked eye. The only chance to discover some lunar landscapes tonight is to use it with binoculars or telescopes. If you have any one, then you have a chance to see the Grimaldi Basin. The Grimaldi Basin is an impact basin that is about 248 miles long. For stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere, focus their attention in the middle of the moon’s surface. If you are in the southern hemisphere, that is in the middle.
When is the next full moon?
The full moon in June is on June 11th. The next full moon will be on July 10th.
What is the moon phase?
NASA Tell us that the moon’s phase is caused by the angle between the sun, the moon and the earth. The moon phase is what the moon looks like on the earth around us. We always see the same side of the moon, but how much does the Sun change light up depending on where it is in orbit. So sometimes it looks full, sometimes even half, sometimes it doesn’t exist at all. There are eight main moon phases that follow the repetitive cycle
Mixable light speed
new moon – The moon is between the earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, the eyes cannot see).
Waxing the crescent moon – A small piece of light appeared on the right (northern hemisphere).
First quarter – Half of the moon lit up on the right. It looks like half a month.
Waxed eldest son – More than half the lights are lit, but not very full yet.
Full Moon – The entire face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Wake up eldest son – The moon begins to lose light on the right.
Last quarter (or Q3) – Another half month, but now the left side is lit.
A decayed new moon – A thin light left on the left and then turned black again.
