Moon Phases 2022 - Northern Hemisphere

In the Northern Hemisphere in 2022, the Moon goes through its various phases, including New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter. These phases are a result of the changing positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half become visible to us. This creates the cycle of waxing (growing) and waning (shrinking) phases over about 29.5 days. The specific dates of each phase in 2022 can be found in a lunar calendar.
