Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on March 15

The Moon is almost fully out of view, and if you were hoping to do some Moon gazing tonight, you're out of luck. As we approach the New Moon, there's not a lot we can spot on its surface since only a tiny sliver is lit by the Sun.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Sunday, March 15, the Moon phase is Waning Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 16% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

Viewing opportunities of the Moon's surface are slim tonight. Without visual aids, you're out of luck fully.
