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.

It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete a full lunar cycle and reappear in the same phase. This cycle includes all the phases of the moon, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
I learned this in science class- it takes 29 1/2 days for the moon to go from new moon to the next new moon.
Both of the waxing phases have more of the Moon illuminated each night:Waxing crescent - from 1% to 49% illuminated(first quarter)Waxing gibbous - from 51% to 99% illuminated.
