The last quarter moon appears as a half-moon shape, with the left half illuminated and the right half in shadow (for observers in the Northern Hemisphere). This phase occurs about three weeks after the new moon, indicating that the moon is transitioning from a waxing gibbous to a waning crescent. It rises around midnight and sets around noon, making it visible in the morning sky.
During the last quarter moon, the moon appears as a half-circle, illuminated on the left side when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. This phase occurs about three weeks after the new moon, and the right side is in shadow. The moon rises around midnight and sets around noon, making it visible in the morning sky. The last quarter marks the transition toward the waning crescent phase.
Both the 1st Quarter moon and the 3rd (last) Quarter moon can be referred to as the "half moon" since we see half of the sunlit side of the moon.

The first quarter and last quarter of the moon are each approximately 7 days apart from the new moon and full moon, respectively. Since the full moon occurs about 14 days after the new moon, the first quarter and last quarter phases are roughly 7 days apart from each other. Therefore, the first quarter and last quarter of the moon are about 14 days apart.
