The Moon entered the Waxing Crescent phase on July 15, 2026, with about 1% of its surface illuminated, according to NASA’s Daily Moon Guide. The preceding New Moon occurred on July 14 at 06:45 UTC, making the Moon virtually invisible. The next Full Moon is scheduled for July 29 at 11:37 UTC.

The July 2026 lunar calendar includes a Waning phase on July 7 at 16:30 UTC, the New Moon on July 14, the Waxing Crescent beginning on July 15, the next Waxing Crescent (first visible arc) on July 21 at 08:05 UTC, and the Full Moon on July 29.
