On June 4, 2020, the moon phase was a Waning Gibbous. This phase occurs after the Full Moon as the moon begins to decrease in illumination. During this time, more than half of the moon's surface is still visible from Earth.
The "waning gibbous" phase lasts from 2 days after the full to 6 days after the full.

It's not the same every February. There's no connection between the calendar and themoon's phases.Also, you need to be more specific than simply naming a whole month. The moon goes throughall of its phases in about 29.5 days, so a whole month includes every phase there is.(February is an exception, but only by about 1 day.)In February, 2010, the named phases occur as follows:February 6 . . . Last QuarterFebruary 14 . . New MoonFebruary 22 . . First QuarterFebruary 28 . .
