Moon Phases 2018 - Southern Hemisphere - #Moon #2018 #Hemisphere #Southern #Nasa #Like #MoreView

Certainly! Here are more details about the moon phases in the Southern Hemisphere in 2018:

1. **New Moon**: During a new moon, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. It is not visible from Earth because the side of the moon illuminated by the Sun is facing away from us. This phase marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle.

2. **First Quarter (Waxing Crescent)**: About one week after the new moon, we see the first quarter moon. Half of the moon's face is illuminated and appears as a half-moon shape in the sky. This is often referred to as the waxing crescent phase.

3. **Full Moon**: Approximately two weeks after the new moon, the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. This results in the entire face of the moon being illuminated and visible from Earth. It's a beautiful and bright full moon.

4. **Last Quarter (Waning Crescent)**: About three weeks after the new moon, we see the last quarter moon. Similar to the first quarter, half of the moon's face is illuminated, but it's the opposite half compared to the first quarter. This is often called the waning crescent phase.

These moon phases repeat in a continuous cycle throughout the year, with the moon transitioning from new to full and back to new again. The specific dates for each of these phases in 2018 can be obtained from a lunar calendar or astronomy resources for your region in the Southern Hemisphere.
