Each month, the Moon traces an ancient rhythm across the sky, and on July 6, 2026, it finds itself in the Waning Gibbous phase — 66% illuminated, past its fullness but still generous with light. This is the Moon in its quiet retreat, a celestial clock that has measured human time long before clocks existed. For those who look up tonight, the lunar surface offers not just light but geography: craters, mountain ranges, and even the footprints of history, all written in stone and shadow.
Moon in Waning Gibbous Phase on July 6, 2026; Full Moon Expected July 29
