The phase of the Moon varies each day. You posted this question on November 24, 2010. On that day, the Moon was waning gibbous with 89% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated.
A waning gibbous moon typically lasts for about 9-11 days. This phase occurs after the full moon and before the last quarter moon.

When the moon is directly in line with the sun, it is called a "new moon." This is the phase where the moon is not visible from Earth because it is positioned between the Earth and the sun.
Phase of the Moon on 18 December: waxing crescent with 5% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated. Phase of the Moon on 19 December: waxing crescent with 10% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated. New Moon on 16 December 2009 at 4:03 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
11 days after New Moon, it's in the "waxing gibbous" phase ... about 3/4 illuminated. That means it's bigger than a crescent, getting fatter all the time, but not full yet.
It is the first quarter of the calendar month.

it is coming out 11/20/09!!!!! :)
The full cycle is 29 1/2 days; so new moon should be about 15 days after full moon. The exact number of days varies, because the Moon's orbit is not exactly circular. basically it will be 5-27-10
On November 18, 2010, the moon phase was a Waxing Gibbous, where more than half of the moon is illuminated but less than a full moon.
Last night, September 11, 2010, the Moon was a waxing crescent, 2 days past the new.
There are two gibbous moons: The waxing gibbous moon and the waning gibbous moon. From New Moon to Waxing Gibbous, it is about 11 days; from New Moon to Waning Gibbous, it is about 18 or 19 days.
