What was the Moon phase last night, and what will it be tomorrow?

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): The Moon changes slowly, so last night's and tomorrow's phases are almost always the same name as today, or the next one. The lit part changes by at most about 11 percentage points a day, fastest around the quarters, and barely at all near new and full moon. For exact dates, use the month picker on this page: it lists the new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter with their times in your time zone. The Next phases list at the top tells you when the next change happens.
