To accurately predict the moon phase on December 15 based on a graph, we would need to see the trends and cycles indicated in that graph. Since I can't see the graph, I can provide general information about moon phases to help you make an informed choice.

The moon goes through a complete cycle approximately every 29.5 days. Here are the primary phases in order:

  1. New Moon
  2. Waxing Crescent
  3. First Quarter
  4. Waxing Gibbous
  5. Full Moon
  6. Waning Gibbous
  7. Last Quarter (or Third Quarter)
  8. Waning Crescent

If you know the moon phase on a specific date close to December 15, you can count forward or backward to estimate the phase on December 15.

If you can provide the phase on a nearby date, I could help you better predict the moon phase for December 15.
