The "waning gibbous" phase lasts from 2 days after the full to 6 days after the full.
The Moon was full two days ago, so for the next 5 days the Moon will be in the "waning gibbous" phase. On Saturday, 2/6/10, the Moon will be at the Third Quarter phase.
Imagine the earth being the center of a clock and the sun way off at 9:00. The moon travels around the earth in a counter-clockwise direction. If the moon was at 3:00, it would be a full moon. If the moon was at 12:00, it would be a half moon. If the moon was at 9:00 it would be a new moon. If the moon was at 6:00 it would be a half moon, then go back to 3:00 and a full moon again.

Phase of the Moon on 29 December 1998: waxing gibbous with 85% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated. Full Moon on 1 January 1999 at 6:51 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.
6 AM is pretty close to sunrise, so if the Moon is setting while the Sun is rising, then the Moon must be pretty close to being Full.
full moon is every 27.5 days
The "waning gibbous" phase lasts from 2 days after the full to 6 days after the full.
Waxing gibbous, a day or two from the Full. The First Quarter moon rises about noon, the Full Moon rises about 6 PM, and the 3rd Quarter moon at about midnight.These APPROXIMATE times are for "standard" time, not DST.

As there was no year zero, it was 11 years.
The Moon is in orbit around the Earth. All orbits are elliptical, meaning oval-shaped; no orbits are perfect circles. When it is at "apogee", or the farthest distance from the Earth, the Moon is about 250,000 miles distant. At "perigee", or the closest distance to the Earth, the Moon is about 225,000 miles away. It does this EVERY MONTH. Because the Earth is orbiting the Sun and the Moon orbits the Earth, there's one particular time of year at which the lunar perigee happens to coincide with the full moon; this is called the "perigee full moon", although some writers who are desperate for headlines have started to call this the "super moon". The "super moon", or "perigee full moon" for 2012 happened last night (as I write this on May 6, 2012). It will happen again next year.

Full moon, man and fur.
Easter is the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the spring equinox. The Equinox is March 20th, but there is a full moon just before that. The NEXT full moon is April 18th, which is a Monday. So that pushes Easter out another 6 days...
Nope. It's impossible to have one phase of the moon for more than three days.
It appears in the excavation site in Year 6.
