On December 8, 2026 the moon was 0% lit and shrinking — a new moon, the same phase seen from anywhere on Earth that night. What differed by place was whether it had risen yet, how high it climbed, and which way its lit edge faced. Computed from the moon's actual position for this date, not read off a generic phase calendar.
