The phase that follows the new moon phase when it appears as a small outer portion of a circle is the waxing crescent phase. This phase occurs as the illuminated portion of the Moon gradually increases in size.
The crescent phase that precedes the new moon phase is called the waxing crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing. The crescent phase that follows the new moon phase is called the waning crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is decreasing.
