On this day the Moon was in a Waxing Gibbous phase - Illumination: 89%.
Gibbous phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon.
The phase lasts round 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.
During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise.
The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word "gibbosus" meaning humpbacked.
