Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on January 19

It's day one of the new lunar cycle, and over the next few days, a thin crescent will begin to appear as the Moon moves further along its orbit. It'll take a few days before it comes into view properly, but from tonight you should be able to see a sliver of Moon in the sky.

As of Monday, Jan. 19, the Moon phase is Waxing Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 1% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.
