As of Wednesday, Feb. 18, the Moon phase is Waxing Crescent. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 1% of the Moon will be lit up tonight. The next Full Moon will be on March 3. The last Full Moon was on Feb. 1.

Sky watchers who get up in time on a morning in early March have a chance of spotting a special 'blood moon' eclipse this year.

When Muslims arriving in the UK tried to sight the new crescent Moon, they would often struggle – in part due to a very British problem: the cloudy weather.

A massive upheaval in the Saturnian system could have also led to the moon Hyperion.

The New Moon will lie directly in front of the Sun to observers in Antarctica.

The eclipse will be visible across North America, but set your alarm -- you'll need to stay up late to see it.

Earth's shadow has two main regions: the outer shadow, called the penumbra, and the inner shadow, known as the umbra. The penumbra causes faint dimming that can be hard to notice. But the umbra is much darker. As it sweeps over the moon, the eclipse becomes obvious and the darkened portion spreads until the entire moon is covered.

The new moon on Feb. 17 coincides with the annular solar eclipse, intensifying its effects
