On January 25, 2025, the Moon will be in its Waning Crescent phase, with approximately 12% illumination. This phase occurs as the Moon approaches the end of its 29.5-day lunar cycle, leading up to the New Moon on January 29.
During the Waning Crescent phase, the Moon rises in the early morning hours and sets in the afternoon. For example, in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 25, the Moon is expected to rise at 4:51 AM and set at 2:08 PM.
The lunar cycle consists of eight phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent. These phases result from the Moon's orbit around Earth and the varying angles of sunlight reaching its surface.
The next Full Moon after January 25 is scheduled for February 12, 2025.
