We're well and truly in the new lunar cycle, and after nights of no joy, keen moon gazers can finally spot some surface features again tonight. Keep reading to find out what you can spot on the Moon tonight.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Monday, April 20, the Moon phase is Waxing Crescent. Tonight, 11% of the moon will be lit up, according to NASA's Daily Moon Guide.

Visual aids or not, tonight you're in luck. If you're looking up at the Moon with just your naked eye, expect to catch a glimpse of the Mares Crisium and Fecunditatis. If you have either binoculars or a telescope, you'll see these as well as the Endymion Crater.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon is predicted to take place on May 1, the first of two in May.

What are Moon phases?

NASA says the Moon takes roughly 29.5 days to orbit Earth, going through eight distinct phases along the way. We always see the same side, but the part lit by the Sun changes as it moves around its orbit, creating the familiar sequence of full, partial, and crescent shapes. These changing appearances are known as lunar phases. There are eight in total:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

That makes Walmart the better buy right now by just under $5, which is a strong dip for a preorder price on a Pokémon TCG expansion — where newly dropped pricing can usually be pretty tight between retailers.

As for what you’re getting compared to Chaos Rising ETBs and Booster Bundles, Build and Battles Boxes are designed to get you gameplay ready with the new expansion from the get-go — by including both a pre-built deck and booster packs to tweak it with.

Specifically, each Chaos Rising Build and Battle Box includes: 

• A 40-card ready-to-play deck

• One of four unique foil promo cards

• Four Mega Evolution Chaos Rising booster packs

• A code card for Pokémon TCG Live

The four possible promo cards are Delphox, Ampharos, Crobat, and Goodra. The Pokémon Company says these boxes will also be used at prerelease events starting May 9, ahead of the expansion’s official May 22 release.

Chaos Rising includes over 120 cards and continues the Mega Evolution series with Pokémon like Mega Greninja ex, Mega Pyroar ex, Mega Floette ex, and Mega Dragalge ex. 

For even more packs and extras from the new Pokémon TCG expansion, the Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box is also available to preorder for slightly under $115. If you haven’t had the chance to try the current expansion yet, the Pokémon TCG Perfect Order Build and Battle Box is now ready to buy for less than $40.

TL;DR: Walmart has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Booster Box up for preorder at $244.99 with free shipping, while TCGplayer’s market price is currently sitting at $245.34.

TCGplayer, meanwhile, has unopened presale listings starting at $243.99 before $2 shipping, totalling $245.99 at the lowest.

Compared to the Chaos Rising Booster Box’s current market price of $245.34 on TCGplayer and the listings on the dedicated trading card platform, Walmart is the cheapest option by a dollar while keeping the box slightly below market value.

Each Chaos Rising Booster Box includes 36 booster packs from the upcoming expansion. At Walmart’s $244.99 price, that works out to roughly $6.81 per booster pack before tax. 

This saves you major money compared to buying Chaos Rising Booster packs individually, which are currently available for $10.92 at the cheapest. Saving you $4.11 per pack from the Pokémon TCG expansion, buying the 36-pack Chaos Rising Booster Box means you’re spending around $147.96 less compared to buying them individually. 

Among other best prices on Pokemon TCG preorders, the Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box is available to buy for just under $115 at Walmart and TCGplayer. As for other boxes of a few dozen boosters, the 36-pack Perfect Order Booster Box is also available for just over $200. 

TL;DR: TCGplayer has Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Booster Bundle presale listings starting at $59.49 with shipping included, while the current market price is sitting at $59.58. Walmart also has preorders live at $59.98 with free shipping, putting TCGplayer just under market value and slightly cheaper.

As of April 20, TCGplayer has unopened presale listings for the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Booster Bundle starting at $59.49 with shipping included. That puts it just under the current $59.58 market price, with the most recent sale at $59.61 and the listed median also sitting at $59.61.

For comparison, Walmart has the same Chaos Rising Booster Bundle listed for preorder at $59.98 with free shipping. Prices are likely to creep up in price as we get closer the expansion’s release date of May 22. 

Similar to those that came before in the trading card game, each Chaos Rising Booster Bundle includes six booster packs from the new Mega Evolution expansion. That works out to about $9.92 per pack at TCGplayer’s current lowest shipped price, before taxes. The lowest price you can currently buy single Chaos Rising booster packs is for $10.92 at TCGplayer, which means buying the Booster Bundle at this price saves you just over $1 per pack.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
