It is the time elapsed from the previous new moon (the time when the sun and moon's ecliptic longitudes coincide) to a given time, expressed in days. A new moon occurs when the lunar age is 0 days, while a first quarter occurs around 7.4 days, a full moon around 14.8 days, and a last quarter around 22.1 days. The lunar age is useful for finding out the approximate phases of the moon. The Scientific Almanac lists the age of the moon at noon central standard time each day to the nearest 0.1 day.
