Answer 1: first of all - it is not warning gibbous, it is waning gibbous which means the moon has just passed the full moon phase

gibbous means oval shaped so outside on a clear night right after the moon is full and you see that oval shape there it is

Answer 2: The "waning (pronounced wane-ing like "raining") gibbous" (not "warning") refers to the phase of the moon where more than half its apparant circle is visible, but it is gradually decreasing toward its last quarter, then last crescent, then new moon

A waxing gibbous refers to the phase following the first crescent (after the new moon), and the first quarter, before becoming a full moon

To "wax" is to increase, to "wane" is to decrease. In the case of the phases of the moon, this means to increase in visibility, or to decrease in visibility.
