The Waxing Crescent Moon phase on November 19 has an illumination of 39 percent. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. The Moon is 6.35 days old. Best seen in the west after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. This is the first phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon's surface. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon.
