On Friday, June 11, 2027, the Moon is at First Quarter, about 52% illuminated. Despite the name, half of the visible disk is lit. "Quarter" refers to the Moon being a quarter of the way through its orbit since New Moon.
The Moon reaches First Quarter around Friday, June 11, 2027. It looks like a half circle lit on the right (Northern Hemisphere). It rises around midday, is highest around sunset and sets around midnight. In New York, NY, moonrise is at 1:12 PM.
This is one of the best phases for binoculars or a small telescope. Scan along the terminator for crater rims and mountain ranges in strong relief. Evening viewing is convenient, and the Moon sets around midnight, leaving the later night darker.
