A waxing crescent moon appears as a thin, curved sliver of light on the right side, gradually increasing in size. This phase occurs after the new moon and before the first quarter, as the illuminated portion grows larger each night. The dark part of the moon is still visible due to earthshine, creating a beautiful contrast. The crescent shape is a result of sunlight illuminating only a small portion of the moon's surface as seen from Earth.

The two phases of the moon that appear as only a tiny silver crescent are the waxing crescent and the waning crescent. During the waxing crescent phase, the moon is transitioning from new to first quarter, and a small sliver of light is visible. Conversely, the waning crescent phase occurs after the last quarter, with only a small portion of the moon illuminated before it returns to the new moon phase. Both phases create a delicate, thin crescent shape in the night sky.
