Although, the Moon it has 4 main phases every month, it is always changing. If you are one of the people who like to go out to look at it at night, you will already know that the first one is known as the first quarter moon, but as it grows, it is known as a crescent moon and then gradually increases to a half moon or crescent moon, to the first quarter moon. Finally, as it brightens and acquires an oblong shape, it is known as full moon.
Next, we detail the lunar calendar for september 2023as well as the Moon phases and when there will be full moon in this ninth month of 2023, in addition to the exact dates so you can see them. However, first we are going to describe what each of the lunar phases consists of; the Crescent Quarter, the New Moon, the Waning Quarter and the Full Moon, as well as what characterizes them.
first quarter
In this phase we can see the Moon illuminated by the Sun and you will be able to identify it because the line that connects the Earth with its natural satellite forms an angle of 90 degrees. This lunar stage can be seen from noon to midnight and it is when the Moon has covered a quarter of its orbit.
new Moon
In this phase of new Moon It is when the lunar cycle begins, which is also known as the new moon, but we cannot see the natural satellite of the Earth because its illuminated part is on the opposite side from which we see our planet. And it is that the Moon stands between the Earth and the Sun and is not appreciable to the human eye because the solar rays that illuminate it are not reflected towards us.
last quarter
In this phase, the Moon is missing a quarter of its journey to complete its orbit, so as this phenomenon happens, its illuminated face that we can see decreases. It appears at midnight and disappears at noon. This stage is also known as the waning moon.
full moon
The full moon is when we see this star fully illuminated and at this stage it has already covered half of its orbit, so it can be observed between sunset and sunrise. As the days go by, the Earth’s natural satellite moves towards the Sun, so its luminosity decreases.
