In artistic representations, the crescent Moon is often shown as a sickle-shaped object, but this is a false impression. The Moon is always round, but sometimes the Sun only lights up a portion of it. In other words, there are no "horns" to the Moon. Several national flags show the Moon with a star quite close to it. This is good artistic composition, but bad astronomy. Such stars would have their light blocked by the Moon, which is still there, even when only partly lit up/
A crescent moon is growing when it transitions from a new moon to a first quarter moon, and shrinking when it transitions from a last quarter moon to a new moon. The growth or shrinkage of the crescent moon is a result of the changing angles between the sun, moon, and Earth during the moon's orbit.
It's the flag of South Carolina.
