The phase of the moon that occurs between the third quarter and the new moon is the waning crescent. During this phase, the illuminated part of the moon visible from Earth decreases until it eventually becomes a new moon with no visible illumination.
It is the "waning crescent" phase.
During a quarter phase of the Moon, either the first or third quarter, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are positioned at approximately right angles to each other. In the first quarter phase, the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, while in the third quarter phase, the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. This positioning causes half of the Moon's surface to be illuminated and visible from Earth, creating the characteristic half-moon appearance.
The phase that comes before the last quarter is called the waning gibbous.
Third quarter phase
The Moon's third quarter phase, also known as the last quarter, occurs when half of the Moon's visible surface is illuminated and is located between the full moon and the new moon. The first quarter phase, conversely, also features half of the Moon illuminated but occurs between the new moon and the full moon. Both phases showcase the same amount of illumination (50% of the lunar surface), but they are opposite each other in the lunar cycle, with the first quarter appearing in the evening sky and the third quarter in the morning sky.
