It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The Waxing Gibbous on October 7 has an illumination of 93%. Visit the October 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked. The moon is then visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase.
