Hi Cormac, Thanks for commenting! The Moon goes through one whole cycle in about 30 days or so. Most months will have one Full moon, but some have two on occasion. Today is the Full Sturgeon Moon. Until it reaches Full, it is waxing (in other words, the portion of the Moon that you see is becoming larger.) After the Full moon, it is waning. Hope that helps! You can check out our Moon phase calendar page for more information, and a visual: http://www.almanac.com/moon/calendar/NH/Peterborough/2010-05
