The Moon in December 2027

The Moon is full on 13 December, and new on 27 December. Every night of December 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 December, look at the Moon every night. On 13 December 2027 it is a big round circle. Around 27 December 2027 you can't see it at all. Draw what you see.

The Moon is full on 13 December, and new on 27 December. First quarter, when the right half is lit, is on 5 December 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 13 December, and new on 27 December. At that full Moon, astronomy-engine puts it about 368,131 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.
