23 November 2020 Waxing Gibbous Illuminated

This Moon's phase for November 23, 2020, is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts around 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.
