Moon Phases

From any location on the Earth, the Moon appears to be a circular disk which, at any specific time, is illuminated to some degree by direct sunlight.

Like the Earth, the Moon is a sphere which is always half illuminated by the Sun, but as the Moon orbits the Earth we get to see more or less of the illuminated half. Galileo spacecraft, 1992

Earth & Moon: Both Show Phases! Galileo spacecraft, 1992

How many total Phases do we see from the moon?

Moon orbits Earth During each lunar orbit (a lunar month), this cycle is a continuous process, there are eight distinct, traditionally recognized stages, called phases.

The Moon appears to have Phases

What is each Phase called? New Moon - The Moon's unilluminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon is not visible (except during a solar eclipse).

What is each Phase called? Waxing Crescent - The Moon appears to be partly but less than one-half illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing.

What is each Phase called? First Quarter - One- half of the Moon appears to be illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing.

What is each Phase called? Waxing Gibbous - The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing.

What is each Phase called? Full Moon - The Moon's illuminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon appears to be completely illuminated by direct sunlight.

What is each Phase called? Waning Gibbous - The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing.

What is each Phase called? Last Quarter - One- half of the Moon appears to be illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing.

What is each Phase called? Waning Crescent - The Moon appears to be partly but less than one-half illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing.

And Finally… Following waning crescent is New Moon, beginning a repetition of the complete phase cycle of 29.5 days average duration.
