Ah, I see what you're asking about, my friend. That lovely phase of the moon is called the waxing gibbous. It's a magical time when the moon is slowly growing brighter, leading up to the enchanting full moon. Just like in painting, each phase of the moon brings its own beauty and wonder to our world.
The first quarter on the moon occurs when the moon is half illuminated, transitioning from a new moon to a full moon. This phase is also known as the waxing crescent phase, where the right half of the moon is visible from Earth.
The gibbous phases of the Moon occur when the visible face of the Moon is more than half illuminated, but not fully illuminated.
One week from now, the moon will likely be in the first quarter phase, where half of the moon is illuminated. The new moon phase is followed by the waxing crescent phase and then the first quarter phase in the lunar cycle.
The phase that occurs between the first quarter and the full moon is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing in size, moving towards the full moon phase.

The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
A Lunar eclipse occurs only when the moon is in its full moon phase.
