What was the phase of the moon 10-3-09?

Answer 1

It's not the same every February. There's no connection between the calendar and the

moon's phases.

Also, you need to be more specific than simply naming a whole month. The moon goes through

all 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 Quarter

February 14 . . New Moon

February 22 . . First Quarter

February 28 . . Full Moon
On February 4, 2010, the moon was in the waning gibbous phase.

At the beginning of 2/4 ... 00:00 GMT, it was 70.9% illuminated.

24 hours later, at the end of 2/4 ... 24:00 GMT, it was 60.6% illuminated.

Answer 2

In 2010, the moon was at Last Quarter on March 7th, and New Moon on March 15th.

So on March 10th 2010, it was a waning crescent.

(The same phases occurred on different dates in 2009, and the dates will change again in 2011.)

At 12:00 Noon Eastern Daylight Time on July 2, 2010, the moon will be 67.5% illuminated

and shrinking. That's the waning gibbous phase.

Answer 9

For this date the moon was in a waning crescent phase (for northern hemisphere), a very thin sliver on it's way out. There was a new moon on the following night.

Answer 10

14.5 days later. So if the Moon is new on July 2, the full moon will be either the 16th or the 17th.
