JAKARTA – Get to know the phases- moon phase be an interesting thing. Moon phase itself is a change in the shape of the moon as seen from the earth’s surface.
The change in the shape of the moon is caused by the reflection of sunlight hitting the moon’s surface which varies in each phase. Generally, there are eight phases of the moon that are important to know.
Reporting from spaceplace.nasa, here are eight moon phase important to know:
1. New Moon Phase
The new moon phase is the phase when the moon is between the sun and the earth in a parallel position. In this phase, the part of the moon that is exposed to the sun is behind, so it is not visible from Earth. The new moon phase usually occurs at noon. So it is very possible if this phase can occur a solar eclipse.
2. Initial crescent phase
The crescent phase is the phase when the part of the moon that is exposed to sunlight is less than half, so the moon looks like a crescent. There are two phases of the crescent moon, namely the waxing crescent and the waning crescent.
The waxing crescent is the initial crescent phase, which occurs after the new moon phase. While the Waning crescent is the final crescent phase, which occurs before the new moon phase.
