But meanwhile, as the Moon loses illumination in its progress through the waning phase that began yesterdaywe can enjoy wonders of the September sky such as the Milky Way showing at midnight at the zenith of the celestial vault, with all its splendor. After the last quarter the Moon will no longer appear until dawn, so in this wait until the new Moon each night we will see it better.

Today’s lunar phase is still the one prior to the last quarter and is known as Waning Gibbous Moonbecause, as in the waxing lunar phase that led to the full Moon, the Moon when it wanes illuminated by more than 50% appears to show a hump.
