According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the moon’s 29.5-day cycle includes one full moon per month, which may not always occur on the same day.
The moon goes through eight phases during this time: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter and waning crescent.
During the full moon phase, the moon appears as a perfect circle in the sky because the Sun’s rays illuminate the entire side of the moon that faces Earth.
According to EarthSky, if you use binoculars, you will be able to see Venus shining strongly soon before dawn on Saturday.
45 minutes before sunrise, Mercury will be visible lower in the sky. Clear skies may allow observers to catch a glimpse of Mars, which will seem darker next to Mercury.
On Saturday morning, NASA predicts that the waning moon—the phase between full and half moon—will pass near the brightest star in the Leo constellation, Regulus.
