The phases of the moon depend on where it is in Earth's orbit. When it's between Earth and the Sun, it's an invisible "new moon". About two weeks later when the moon has moved around Earth so now Earth is between it and the Sun, it's a full moon.
In the new Moon phase.
New Moon Phase
The moon will be in its first quarter phase a week from tonight after the new moon phase.
The waxing crescent is the first phase after the new moon.
I am unable to provide real-time information about the current moon phase. You can check the moon phase for today using a moon phase calendar or a moon phase app on your phone.
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.
New Moon.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new 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.
