   That's a very good idea, David!   
      
   Thanks for the update. The full moon occurred two days prior, on   
   November 5, 2025. It was very bright, and still is.   
      
   So, I just realized that Today, Friday, November 7, 2025, the moon is in   
   the Waning Gibbous phase.   
      
   Apparently, the moon is approximately 93-94% illuminated and is 17 days   
   old, meaning it has been 17 days since the last New Moon.   
      
   Good work!
