Moon at Last Quarter

Monday 24th Mar 201401:47

The Moon will reach last quarter – roughly a week after passing full moon and a week before it will reach new moon. At this point in its monthly cycle of phases, it is only visible late in the night and in the pre-dawn and early morning sky.

At this time the Moon will lie at a declination of -18°39′ in the constellation Sagittarius, and so will appear highest in the southern hemisphere.
