informs The age of the moon It is 4 days old today and is in the waxing crescent phase of its lunar cycle, which is 20% illuminated. The phases of the moon reveal the passage of time in the night sky. Some nights when we look at the moon, it is full and bright; Sometimes it’s just a sliver of dim light.
According to the “space” website, the four basic phases of the moon (new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter) occur about a week apart, and the full moon is its most dazzling phase.
While the moon has four basic phases each month, it is always changing, and when you observe the moon during the month, see how it grows from new moon to first quarter moon.
Also, as the moon grows, it is known as the growing moon, and it gradually increases from a waxy “crescent” to its shape in the first quarter of the moon, and as it continues to shine, it takes a rectangular or “humpback” shape until it reaches the full moon stage, then it will repeat the steps in the opposite direction. As he heads back to the new moon.
The next moon phase in April will be the First Quarter Moon, and it will occur on Monday, April 15.
As for the current phase, which is the new moon, it is called the “invisible phase of the moon,” according to NASA, because the illuminated side of the moon faces away from the Earth toward the sun.
