waxing gibbous
Yes. On January 3, 2010 the Moon was in the waning gibbous phase, 3 days past the full.
3rd Quarter Moon
There was a full moon on the 3rd of February 2015.
Could be anything, the two phenomena are not connected. If you meant, what is the phase of the moon when it is at its highest point at sunrise, the answer is it is approximately at 3rd quarter, a half moon facing east.
No. The Moon is about 3rd Quarter tonight, 8/3/2010.
No. The Moon was full yesterday, October 22, 2010, and will be just past the 3rd quarter moon on Halloween.
February 7th, 2010.
The 5th phase of the moon is known as the waning gibbous phase. During this phase, more than half of the moon is illuminated, but the illuminated portion is shrinking each day until it becomes a third-quarter moon.
The semi-circle shape can be the 1st or 3rd quarter. Perhaps you would want to double check, but I believe that if the "flat" side of the shape is facing to the left, that is the 1st quarter; to the right - 3rd quarter.
October 1, 2010 was the 3rd quarter moon, and October 7th was the new moon. You can interpolate from there, I'm sure.
After the 2010 Vancouver Olympics so about late February 2010.
On Thursday the 3rd Feb 2011 it was a full Moon. On Friday the 11th Feb 2011 it will be a half Moon. Therefore on Saturday 5th Feb 2011 it was a waning Moon between full and half.
