Any moon apart from the new moon can be seen in the night sky, although the only moon phase that is above the horizon the entire night is the full moon. The gibbous phases either rise just before sunset or set after sunrise, the quarter phases either rise or set at midnight and the crescent phases either rise shortly before sunrise or set shortly before sunset.
