This page shows the current moon phase for Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The moon phase is calculated using the SunCalc astronomy library, which accounts for Tashkent's latitude (41.2995 degrees) and longitude (69.2401 degrees) to determine the moon's position relative to the horizon.
The moon phase updates in real time on the interactive page above. You can see the current illumination percentage, the moon's age in the lunar cycle, and the times for moonrise and moonset in Tashkent today.
Moonrise and moonset times in Tashkent vary daily because the moon orbits Earth at a different rate than Earth rotates. The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day on average. The exact times depend on the moon's orbital position relative to Tashkent's coordinates.
The moon goes through a complete cycle of phases every 29.53 days, called a synodic month. The four primary phases are new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. Between these are the intermediate phases: waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, waning gibbous, and waning crescent.
The phase you see depends on the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon. A new moon occurs when the moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side facing Earth is dark. A full moon occurs when Earth is between the sun and the moon, so the entire sunlit side faces Earth.
The illumination percentage shown on this page tells you how much of the moon's visible surface is lit by the sun. At new moon the illumination is 0 percent, at first and last quarter it is about 50 percent, and at full moon it is 100 percent.
