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.

Full moon
a full moon is when the moon is completely full and completely round. a new moon is when the moon appears to have dissapeared.
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.
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.
When the moon appears as a full circle, it is known as a "full moon." This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to be fully illuminated from our perspective.
