The Moon in January 2027

The Moon is full on 22 January, and new on 7 January. Every night of January 2027 is drawn below, from astronomy-engine's numbers for the Moon at 10 pm Mountain Time; the shape is the same anywhere in the US that night.

The four phase dates

In January, look at the Moon every night. On 22 January 2027 it is a big round circle. Around 7 January 2027 you can't see it at all. Draw what you see.

The Moon is full on 22 January, and new on 7 January. First quarter, when the right half is lit, is on 15 January 2027: a good night to look at craters with binoculars, along the line between light and dark. The Moon goes from new to full and back in about 29 and a half days.

The Moon is full on 22 January, and new on 7 January. At that full Moon, astronomy-engine puts it about 357,635 km from Earth's center; the Moon's distance swings between about 356,000 and 406,000 km. Phase dates here are the Mountain Time day of the exact instant, so a phase late in the evening can fall on the next day in Europe.
