Just got back from taking a walk with the dogs under the full moon. There's nothing like it. It is so spectacular and magical, especially on a pitch-black road with no lights.
The Moon completes a full orbit around the Earth every 29.5 days. The phases of the Moon are:
*New Moon
*Waxing Moon (when the Moon gets bigger in the sky, a narrow crescent growing from right to left)
*Waning Moon (when the Full Moon is decreasing in size, moving back towards the New Moon, gradually changing to a decreasing crescent from right to left)
Gibbous Moon is the period beween the first quarter and Full Moon and between the Full Moon and last quarter.
