First Quarter
A waxing crescent is the phase of the Moon when it is growing larger but still less than half illuminated. It appears as a crescent shape in the sky. This phase happens after the new moon and before the first quarter moon.
The waxing crescent moon phase occurs between New Moon and First Quarter.
The moon phase that follows the new moon is the waxing crescent phase. During this phase, a small sliver of the moon is illuminated on the right side, signaling the beginning of the moon's waxing or growing phase as it moves towards a full moon.
Full Moon -> Waxing gibbous phase -> First quarter phase -> Waxing crescent phase -> New moon -> Waning crescent phase -> Last quarter phase -> Wanning gibbous phase -> Full Moon
The moon appears as a waxing (growing) crescent for about a week, between the moments of New Moon and First Quarter.
First Quarter
The moon phase between waxing crescent and first quarter is called waxing gibbous. In this phase, the moon is more than half illuminated but less than full.
