That’s the full moon! And now, the waning crescent! Play this memory game based on the different lunar phases.
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered why the Moon appears in a different shape every day? The portion of the Moon that faces the Sun looks bright as it is lit by sunlight. The Moon appears to change shape because we see different amounts of the lit part as the Moon orbits the Earth. The phases keep changing as the moon continues its orbit.
Take a look at this animation of the Moon as it cycles through its phases, as seen from the northern hemisphere. Did you know that the Moon’s phase goes the opposite way if you’re in the southern hemisphere?
Try out this memory game and identify the different phases of the moon as quickly as possible!
