Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on March 10

Summary: Tonight, March 10, the Moon is in its Waning Gibbous phase, meaning it is exactly 61% lit up by the sun. Even without any special equipment, you can look up and spot cool surface features like the Tycho Crater and Mare Imbrium. If you grab some binoculars or a telescope, you can see even more, including huge mountain ranges and the Apollo 15 landing site! The Moon takes about 29.5 days to orbit Earth, passing through eight different phases as the sun's light hits it from different angles. Get ready, because the next Full Moon will light up the sky on April 1.
