The Moon today still presents a slightly domed shapealthough it is now very close to a semicircle. We meet one day after entering the crescent phasein which the Moon is half illuminated and stops having a convex shape to begin to hollow out and, with the days, become concave.

Which half lights up in this first part of the waning phase? In this lunar phase, known as waning gibbous moon phasein the northern hemisphere we see the left half illuminated and a little more, while in the southern hemisphere the light falls on the right half and a little on the left. Now, the illuminated surface is the same: The Moon moves in its orbit approximately following the line of the equator and we just look at it from different perspectives.

That’s why when you look at the lunar calendar of the northern hemisphere and the lunar calendar of the southern hemisphere, you see the Moon facing in opposite directions. The lunar phase changes, however, occur at the same time, and if there are variations of one day in some of them it is simply due to the time difference.
