The last quarter of the Moon occurs when half of the side we see from Earth is illuminated. This phase happens after the waning gibbous phase and before the new moon phase in the lunar cycle.
As of February 5th, 2010, the moon will enter the Last Quarter, and will enter the New Moon phase as of February 14th. So on February 13th, the moon will still be in the Last Quarter phase.
