Moon phase calendars by year
Is the Moon phase different by country?
The Moon is in the same physical phase worldwide at the same instant. What can differ is the local date and clock time when a phase occurs. GlobalTimeGuide therefore formats exact phase events in the visitor’s local time zone.
What the illumination means
The illumination percentage is an astronomical-cycle estimate for the fraction of the lunar disk that appears lit from Earth. New Moon is near 0%, First and Last Quarter near 50%, and Full Moon near 100%.
