When sunlight fully illuminates the Moon's Earth-facing side, we observe a Full Moon. The Full Moon marks the midway point of the monthly cycle. The lunar phases, in order, are: New
Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter and Waning Crescent. And on top of the 29.5-day cycle, the Moon takes about 27.3 days to
complete a lap around our planet.
