We are approaching a Full Moon. The Moon is currently in the Waxing Gibbous phase, with 56% illumination. Visible features include the Mares Fecunditatis, Crisum, and Vaporum, while using binoculars can reveal Posidonius Crater and the Alps Mountains. With a telescope, more details can be seen, such as the Rima Ariadaeus and the Descartes Highlands. The next Full Moon in North America is expected on April 1. The Moon goes through eight phases over roughly 29.5 days, these are: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
