November’s full moon is at 09:29 UTC November 30, but it will look full before and after that date.

A waxing gibbous moon is in the sky when darkness falls. It lights up the early evening. It appears more than half lighted, but less than full.

The 1st quarter moon happens on November 22, 2020, at 04:45 UTC. Here’s what to look for, and how to recognize this moon phase.

A waxing crescent moon shines in the west after sunset. It quickly follows the sun below the western horizon.

New moons generally can’t be seen. They cross the sky with the sun during the day. This month’s new moon happens on November 15 at 05:07 UTC.

The moon reaches its last quarter phase on November 8, 2020, at 13:46 UTC.

The waning gibbous moon falls between full and last quarter. See it best from late night through early morning.

Half the moon always faces us. And half the moon is always lit by the sun. But, in the language of astronomers, there are no ‘half moons.’

You’ll find a waning crescent moon in the east before sunrise. It’s waning toward new moon, when the moon will be between Earth and the sun.
