Today, January 1, 2011, the Moon is in the "waning crescent" phase with about 6% of the visible face of the Moon illuminated. There will be a partial solar eclipse on January 4, which can only occur at the precisely "new" moon.
I am unable to provide real-time information about the current moon phase. You can check the moon phase for today using a moon phase calendar or a moon phase app on your phone.

If the moon is full today, in a week it will be in the last quarter phase. The lunar cycle progresses from full moon to last quarter over approximately a week, as the moon moves into a waning phase. This means it will appear as a half-moon, with the left side illuminated in the Northern Hemisphere.
Today is the waning crescent. the date is the second of April. on the sixth of April it will be an new moon. love illing student
To determine the current moon phase, you would need to check a reliable lunar calendar or astronomy website, as the moon phase changes approximately every 29.5 days. As of my last update, I cannot provide real-time data. However, you can easily find the current moon phase by searching online or using a moon phase app.
After 21 days from a new moon, you would reach a full moon phase. The lunar cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete, so 21 days after a new moon would place you close to a full moon phase.
I don't have real-time capabilities to provide the Moon's current phase. However, you can easily find out the Moon's phase today by checking a lunar calendar or using a smartphone app that tracks lunar cycles. The Moon goes through its phases approximately every 29.5 days, transitioning from new moon to full moon and back.
New Moon.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
The phase of the moon that follows the waning gibbous phase is the third quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon is illuminated, and it appears as a half-moon. The third quarter occurs roughly a week after the full moon and signifies the moon's transition towards the new moon phase.
The Moon is in the "waxing gibbous" phase today, August 22, 2010, so the Moon will rise in mid-afternoon and be visible somewhat north of east at sunset.
