Moon On February 2024. National moon day, celebrated annually on july 20, commemorates the historic apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. It is then near its farthest point from earth, called apogee, which it reaches on february 25.

For optimal auroral viewing, the moon may not disturb because light from the moon can be very bright which causes faint aurora to be barely visible, especially when the chances for auroral viewing are low. The name of a current phase, an approximate percent of an illuminated surface of the moon visible from the earth, and moon’s age (days) are also provided.
