Phases around the earth?

If you're talking about the 'phases' of the moon, then: Everybody on the earth sees the same phase of the moon on the same date. Technically, the phase of the moon is always changing ... five minutes from now, the illuminated section will be slightly bigger or slightly smaller than it is right now. But in a practical sense, we usually don't notice any difference until we see the moon again several hours later. So it's essentially accurate to say that anybody on earth who looks at the moon within the next few hours ... whenever it appears in the sky wherever they are ... will see the same phase as you see right now.

Right now ... January 12, 2010 ... the moon is in the late waning phases everywhere. "New Moon" will occur on Friday 1/15, and the moon will then begin to 'grow' again. Everybody, everywhere on earth, sees the same moon phase on the same date.


What is the current lunar phase?

It's full. Here. Right now. __________________________ Questions about "current" conditions aren't all that useful on WikiAnswers, where the question and the answers remain online for years. If you want to know the phase of the Moon "right now", there are apps for your Android smartphone or your iPhone, and there are many web sites that post the current phase of the Moon. One useful site is the U.S. Naval Observatory's site, which offers all sorts of interesting data including the phases of the Moon and times of sunrise and sunset. This question was posted on January 26, 2013. The Moon is "full" on January 27, 2013 at 4:38 AM Coordinated Universal Time (the fancy name for Greenwich Mean Time). So Alcohen2006's answer above was probably about 6 minutes off. Close enough!
