What lunar phase is highest overhead at 9pm?

Answer 1

9 PM is 9 hours after noon, so the moon is about 9 hours behind the sun, or 9/24

of the way from one New Moon to the next one. That's 3/8 or 11/2 quarters,

so the moon is halfway between its first and second quarter, which is right in

the middle of "waxing gibbous".

All speaking approximately and roughly, of course.

Answer 2

The highest lunar phase overhead at 9pm is typically the first quarter moon, which is halfway between the new moon and full moon. This phase is characterized by half of the moon being illuminated and located directly overhead at around 9pm.
