From New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon (again).
The star closest to the moon changes constantly as the moon moves through the sky. One star that is often seen near the moon is Aldebaran, which is a bright star in the constellation Taurus.
The apparent change in the sunlit portion of the moon through the month is called waxing (getting larger, from crescent through full) or waning (getting smaller, from full down to crescent).
Call Down the Moon was created in 1995.
