This indicates that the moon is waxing, meaning it is transitioning from a new moon to a full moon. As the days progress, more of the moon's sunlit side becomes visible from Earth.

A waxing crescent is a small fraction of the moon, while the waxing gibbous looks as though someone cut the crescent out. together they make a full moon
When the moon is becoming more illuminated as seen from Earth, it is transitioning from a new moon phase toward a full moon phase. This period is called the waxing phase, during which the sunlit portion of the moon increases. The moon's position relative to the Earth and the Sun allows more of its illuminated side to be visible, culminating in the full moon when the entire visible face is illuminated.

The "blue moon" is the second full moon in the same calendar month.The complete cycle of moon phases is 29 days and a fraction; so you see that if there's a full moonon the 1st or 2nd of the month, then there can be another one before the end of the month.This December (2009) will have full moons on the 2nd and 31st ... the first blue moon in over 1-1/2 years.
The moon in the days before and after a full moon appear as a gibbous moon. A gibbous moon is anything between a full moon and a half moon.
