The moon start out as a NEW MOON, which is the dark moon. Then comes the "WAXING CRESCENT" or the growing crescent, which is when the moon is positioning itself in front of the sun. Then comes the "WAXING GIBBOUS" Which is when around 2/3 of the moon is illuminated. Now comes the FULL MOON, which is the stage where the moon is directly in front of the sun. Now come the "WANING GIBBOUS". which is where the moon begins to "wane" or move away from the sun. Then the last phase is the "WANING CRESCENT" which is around 1/3 of the moon still illuminated. *phases are uppercase
