The moon changing phases. Phasing as some call it.
=====================================
A waining moon. (The opposite - when the moon gets bigger each night is called a waxing moon).
A waning moon
This phase is known as the waxing crescent phase of the Moon. During this phase, the Moon appears to grow thicker each night as more of its lighted side becomes visible from Earth.
If the U.S. flag is flown at night, it is supposed to be lighted.
When you are seeing more of the lighted portion of the moon each night, the moon is waxing. When the lighted portion is diminishing, it is waning.
After the half-moon phase, the moon's lighted side appears to grow smaller every night, transitioning towards the new moon phase where the moon is not visible in the sky. This progression is known as the waning crescent phase.

The moon phase where you see less of the lighted side is called the New Moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, causing the side of the moon that is illuminated by sunlight to face away from Earth. As a result, the moon appears mostly dark and is often not visible in the night sky.

After the half-moon phase, the moon's lighted side appears to grow smaller every night, transitioning towards the new moon phase where the moon is not visible in the sky. This progression is known as the waning crescent phase.
When the moon appears as a lighted circle in the sky, it is known as a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and the moon, causing the entire face of the moon visible from the Earth to be illuminated. Full moons are known for their brightness and are a beautiful sight to behold in the night sky.
