The waxing gibbous moon is a phase in which the moon appears to be gradually filling with light. When observed in the night sky, the right side of the moon appears bright, while the left side appears dark.
This moon phase can be seen regularly every month. It has also served as an important reference in calendars of various countries around the world.
상현달은 달이 점점 차오르는 모습을 보여주는 단계예요. 밤하늘에서 보면 달의 오른쪽이 밝고 왼쪽이 어두워 보이죠.
이런 달 모양은 매달 정기적으로 볼 수 있어요. 세계 여러 나라의 달력에서도 중요한 기준이 되어왔답니다.
The waxing gibbous moon is the lunar phase visible around the 7th-8th day of the lunar month. Over 50% of its surface is illuminated by sunlight, and it's in the process of transitioning into a full moon. It's also a good time for astronomers to observe craters on the lunar surface.
Historically, the phases of the moon have been important indicators for agriculture and fishing and are closely related to the tides. Today, the moon is a favored subject for astrophotographers and serves as crucial information in moon observation applications.
