The Natural Compass

Moon tonight

Full Moon

The whole face we can see is lit up — Earth is between the sun and the moon.

✦ Easy night to notice the sky: celebrate wins, share with friends, or simply look up.

Everyone on Earth sees the same phase at the same moment — only your local clock time differs. The drawing matches how the moon looks in the northern sky; south of the equator, left and right in the picture swap.
